DX Engineering Radial Wire Biodegradable Anchor Pins
DX Engineering Radial Wire Biodegradable Anchor Pins are designed to keep your cables down to the ground in an Earth-friendly way. They are manufactured from recycled, bio-degradable, PLA (polylactide) resin, the color of which will vary. These biodegradable anchors are easily installed and will hold radial wires in place until lawn roots overtake them, and then disappear. They're ecologically friendly! Depending on the weather conditions, they will degrade in about a year. They don't slowly rust away like metal staples. DX Engineering Radial Wire Biodegradable Anchor Pins are intended for turf or softer ground where they may be pushed in (they feature a wide, flat head for your thumb) or lightly tapped with a tool head--NOT driven in with a hammer. Since they are a plastic-like material, they will be subject to breakage when used in rocky or hard soil or subjected to vigorous impact. Install your ground radials the easy and ecological way- with DX Engineering Radial Wire Biodegradable Anchor Pins!

DX Engineering Vertical Antenna Guying Kits
Some vertical antenna manufacturers indicate that their antennas do not need guying. During times of high winds or ice loading, however, some of these vertical antennas may sustain damage or fail altogether. With the small amount of effort needed to install one of these DX Engineering Vertical Antenna Guying Kits, the risk hardly seems worth taking. They feature a 4-point guying scheme that provides the best mechanical advantage to prevent wind stress, regardless of direction. The guying is intended for stability only and should never be depended on for primary support. DX Engineering Vertical Antenna Guying Kits are especially recommended for use with DX Engineering tilt bases, because just one of the guy ropes has to be loosened when you tilt the vertical down. The remaining guys help to stabilize the vertical in three directions when being raised. These kits have been designed to be used with ground-mounted quarter-wavelength vertical antennas, such as DX Engineering monoband and multiband verticals and the Hustler 4, 5, and 6-BTV models. Using the DX Engineering vertical antenna guying kits, you can install four guy ropes approximately halfway up the vertical antenna system to ground level and angled at approximately 45 degrees. Guying should be tightened just enough to permit the antenna to swing a few inches. The ends of the ropes are tied to the earth anchors that are screwed into the ground at about the same angle as the ropes. Tie the other ends of the ropes to the vertical antenna just above one of the antenna element clamps or traps (a guying ring is not required). Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. The DX Engineering Vertical Antenna Guying Kits are available in different lengths to fit your varying vertical antenna needs.

DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire Kits
DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire Kits include plentiful quantities of biodegradable staples and tinned crimp ring terminals that are easily soldered. Along with spools of the same wire as used by the most successful contest stations and DX enthusiasts for their ground-mounted vertical antennas, these kits will help your antenna system achieve optimal performance. The 16 AWG tinned solid copper wire in these kits provide an extremely cost effective solution for the high-count, full-size ground radial wire systems that are required for top-performing HF vertical antenna installations. Ground wire radials do not need to be any specific length because the earth detunes them. Fill your ground-mounted vertical space with radials that run out from the antenna feedpoint in all possible directions, as far as they can go, up to about one-quarter wavelength on the lowest frequency. Even radials that are all about one-eighth wavelength long on the lowest frequency band are just fine for multi-band verticals over reasonably conductive soils. Use longer radials on lossy soils with sand and rocks. In most cases, a greater number of short ground radials will provide greater efficiency and stronger signals than is achieved with a few long radials. DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire Kits are available in four sizes: Shorter spool kits, 500 ft. and 1,000 ft., are perfect for the single HF ground-mounted vertical. Longer spool kits, 2,500 ft. and 5,000 ft., are intended for 2-element Dual Vertical Arrays, 3-element ProStack Arrays, and 4-element Four Square Array Systems. Each kit has the appropriate number of biodegradable staples and tinned crimp ring terminals. Why is this wire the absolute best choice for any ground-mounted vertical antenna? Because, DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire will last much longer in a variety of soil conditions as compared to bare copper, copper coated steel or aluminum wires. Radials deployed with those other wire types actually corrode and degrade rather quickly. Unfortunately, they do so slowly enough that the operator does not easily perceive that degradation in terms of antenna system performance. With Tinned Copper wire, full radial system integrity is maintained for a greater number of years. Depending upon soil type, installations with DXE-TCRW16 will maintain vertical antenna performance for many, many years… and even decades. NOTE: To prevent accelerated corrosion and the possibility of noise, DO NOT use metal anchor pins (lawn staples) on Tinned Copper Radial Wire. These kits contain only the DXE-STPL-100BD Biodegradable Anchor Pins to hold down bare wire radials. Biodegradable staples allow easy installation of radial wires and will disperse in a couple years, after they are no longer needed, making them site friendly. Biodegradable staples work best in soft ground where they may be pushed or lightly tapped into the ground. Since they are a lacto-resin material they are subject to breaking in rocky or hard soil and are not intended to be hammered. DX Engineering Tinned Copper Radial Wire kits are the right choice for long lasting top-performance radial systems for your ground-mounted vertical antenna system.

DX Engineering Portable VHF/UHF Antenna Mounts
Designed for rapid deployment in portable operations, the DXE-MOBILEPORT-U is the ideal solution for mounting VHF/UHF or GMRS vertical antennas in the field. Whether you're camping, participating in Field Day, supporting EmComm activities, or setting up a temporary station, this mounting plate simplifies antenna setup in challenging environments. The center hole is sized to fit over collapsible masts like the DXE Nomad fiberglass mast, providing a stable and secure base. Four outer holes serve dual purposes: they can anchor guy lines for mast stabilization and support soldered wires to create a ground plane—if your antenna requires one. However, for best performance and simplicity, a no-ground-plane-required antenna is recommended. Compact, lightweight, and versatile, the DX Engineering MOBILEPORT-U Portable VHF/UHF Antenna Mounts are a must-have for any portable antenna deployment kit. Important Note: This mounting plate is intended for use with fiberglass masts only. Carbon fiber masts are not recommended, as they may interfere with RF signals and cause SWR issues due to their conductive properties.
