Bushcomm Horizon Multi-Band Loop Antennas
Magnetic- loop antennas have existed almost since radio began. The recent resurgence of interest in them is the result of their small size and relative noise immunity. Bushcomm Horizon Multi-Band Loop Antennas are all aluminum magnetic-loop antennas that are designed for operation as tight-bandwidth transceive or as receive-only antennas. Bushcomm Horizon loops are characteristically quiet on receive (as are all magnetic loops) and highly efficient on transmit. Due to their physically small size, all antennas of this type transmit on a very narrow SWR bandwidth. However, their unique design allows them to be continuously tunable across their entire rated bandwidth. Note: To correctly tune for transmit use you will need an antenna analyzer. These loops are available in two models that cover either 40 through 10 meters or 20 through 10 meters: Horizon Loop 40: * 40 through 10 meters (7.0 to 30 MHz, continuous) * 125w PEP maximum power rating * Approximately 53.5 in. wide, 40.2 in. high * 3.5 lbs. Horizon Loop 20: * 20 through 10 meters (14.0 to 30 MHz, continuous) * 125w PEP maximum power rating * Approximately 28.75 in. wide, 33.5 in. high * Weight 3.1 lbs. These antennas are very simple and easy to assemble. They are comprised of few parts, so disassembly for transport is also an easy task. Parts list: * 2 loop halves * 2 loop stands * 1 gamma matching bar * 1 capacitive tuning slide * 2 stand insulators * 1 gamma match "python clamp" Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. Perhaps you've been looking for the perfect SOTA or other portable-application antenna? Maybe you would like a different solution for camping, travel or apartment antenna use? These portable 125 watt HF loops are from a quality manufacturer of many portable, stealth and limited-space antenna products.

Bushcomm Horizon 6.7 Compact Non-Resonant Dipoles
Bushcomm Horizon 6.7 Compact Non-Resonant Dipoles are compact all aluminum self-supported dipole antennas specifically designed for "Limited-Small space" applications. Designed for use with an antenna tuner, each element is fitted with an M5 stud and wing nut to enable easy feed wire connection. The central bracket has two U bolts to allow attachment to a 50mm (1-7/8 in.) OD mast. Radiating elements are manufactured from telescoping 25mm and 22mm diameter "drawn," not extruded, aluminum tubing. This makes them flexible and extremely resilient to high winds and bird landings. The width of the assembled antenna is only 6.8 meters (22.31 ft.). They are configured to operate in a frequency range of 3-54 MHz with the aid of a manual/auto tuner. Ultimate band coverage is subject to the functional range of your antenna tuner. If not using a remote mast-mounted tuner, then an RF choke or balun should be used at the antenna to limit RFI. Dipole elements are two-piece to reduce the shipping length to 202 centimeters (79.53 in.). These antennas are very easy to assemble and with a weight of only 3 kg (6.6 lbs.) they are extremely easy to erect. Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. These antennas are ideal for pairing with an LDG-RT-RC-100 remote autotuner and a Channel Master CNM-9521A light Duty Rotator System.

Bushcomm HORIZON 2040 Center-Fed Dipoles
Bushcomm HORIZON 2040 Center-Fed Dipoles are designed to be durable in the extreme. They are also very economical over the long haul. These stainless steel and copper antennas are constructed for emergency, temporary or permanent installation in some of the world's most inhospitable environments and they are built using only the highest-quality materials. And at only 13 meters in length, they will easily fit into most installation scenarios. Commercial antennas are rated with a usable VSWR of 2:1 or under. Rating the Horizon 2040 using this method the resonant band width is appropriately 150 kHz at 40 meters, 300 kHz on the 20 meter band. In most cases this will be fine. But if you prefer wider band width or tighter SWR an on-board tuner or the addition of a good-quality external tuner will help. When manufactured the antennas are hand tuned at approximately 3m (10 feet) above ground. For this reason, when you install the antenna, the height above ground or proximity of trees buildings sheds and so on will affect your SWR. You may have to retune for your requirements. Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information.

Bushcomm Three-Band End-Fed Antennas
Bushcomm Three-Band End-Fed Antennas are designed and manufactured in Australia and are intended to offer simple and very efficient operation on the 40, 20 and 10 meter bands. Constructed for emergency, temporary or permanent installation in some of the world's most inhospitable environments, they are built using only the highest-quality materials. At only 12 meters in length, they will easily fit into most installation scenarios. Commercial antennas are rated with a usable VSWR of 2:1 or under. Rating the Horizon End-Fed using this method the resonant band width is appropriately 100 kHz at 40 meters, 300 kHz at 20 meters and 400 kHz on the 10 meter band. In most cases this will be fine. But if you prefer wider band width or tighter SWR an on-board tuner or the addition of a good-quality external tuner will help. These antennas use the grey balun box as their feed point and termination point for one end of the antenna. This end can be a tower, pole, side of the house, tree etc. Simply stretch the main radiating element outwards and pull it tight with your support rope. As the wire is G304 stainless steel, it may be pulled quite tight and will not stretch. This antenna is ground independent so grounding or radials are not required. When manufactured the antennas are hand tuned at approximately 3m (10 feet) above ground. For this reason when you install the antenna the height above ground or proximity of trees buildings sheds and so on will affect VSWR. You may have to retune for your requirements.
