Kelemen Trap Dipole Antennas
Kelemen Trap Dipole Antennas are high-quality, heavy-duty pre-assembled wire antennas intended for permanent installations. They feature special traps made with of PTFE (Teflon®) insulated coax for high Q and low losses, offer high performance multi-band operations—and are excellent shortened antennas where there's not enough space for a full-size dipole. Kelemen Trap Dipole Antennas include a series of monoband models, as well as a series of multi-band models that cover an extensive combination of HF bands from 160m through 10 meters. Specific models handle either 400 watts, 1,000 watts or 2,000 watts PEP SSB and CW at resonance. Kelemen Antennas are fully temperature-resistant and weather-proof, and are manufactured from high-quality materials. Balun cases are constructed of transparent, weather-proof polycarbonate with a bottom-mounted SO-239 (UHF female) connector. Hardware and clamps are all stainless steel. Each antenna is completely assembled with the balun, clear PVC-insulated stranded copper wire, stainless wire clamps and egg insulators, ready for operation. Just add rope and coax to complete your Kelemen wire antenna installation. Kelemen Trap Dipole Antennas may be mounted horizontally or in an Inverted-Vee configuration with a central support required. Many Kelemen Antennas are perfect for portable operations because of their low weight. Their coaxial traps are much lighter than conventional traps, making it easier to keep the antenna at an effective height. In many cases they can be easily supported by a single fiberglass pole. For base operations, these antennas should be placed high, in an unobstructed location well away from buildings to limit shifting of resonant frequencies. Kelemen Antennas are often the best possible antenna choice for full-time base operations, offering the advantages of specialized multi-band coverage that perfectly complements the other antennas of the station.

Kelemen Double-Band 80M & 40M Dipoles
Kelemen Double-Band 80M & 40M Dipoles are high-quality, preassembled wire antennas featuring full-size elements for both 80 and 40 meters, 128 ft. and 65.6 ft. respectively. Kelemen Dipoles are rugged; strong but lightweight, with good stability and excellent longevity. The included balun is intentionally not potted watertight to save on weight, instead using effective weep holes. Maximum power handling of this model is 2 kW PEP. Kelemen Dipoles are pre-tuned to the lower end of the band (CW) because they are easily shortened for use on the phone (SSB) end of the band. This "Fan Dipole" are the simplest and most efficient type of two-band dipole. Depending on the availability of supports, the Kelemen Dipole can be suspended in different ways and achieve different directional characteristics depending on the height. As an inverted-V set up close to the ground, it is an ideal omnidirectional antenna with strong high-angle radiation which is good for local traffic. The higher the dipole hangs, the flatter the radiation, and the better the chances for DX. Due to the light construction of the Kelemen dipoles, the requirements for the supports are not very high. For example, with inverted-vee setups, a push-up mast is usually sufficient as a mast. With horizontal suspension, trees with antenna ropes and pulleys can often be used as support points. Insulators and center hooks are included with each preassembled Kelemen Dipole antenna. For installation, use lengths of non-conductive antenna rope for the center support and for each end of the dipole.

Kelemen Monoband Dipoles
Kelemen Monoband Dipoles are high-quality, preassembled wire antennas featuring full-size models and a few shortened low-band models with coils for lengths that are easier to fit in the yard. Kelemen Dipoles are rugged; strong but lightweight, with good stability and excellent longevity. The included balun is intentionally not potted watertight to save on weight, instead using effective weep holes. Maximum power handling depends on each model's balun or coil used on shorter antennas. Kelemen Dipoles are pre-tuned to the lower end of the band (CW) because they are easily shortened for use on the phone (SSB) end of the band.
