WiMo Mast Tripods
WiMo Mast Tripods are made of quality aluminum and perfect for EMCOMM, Field Day, SOTA, POTA or IOTA. For any occasion where you need a fast and hassle-free temporary installation for your mast or pole, these tripods do the trick. They fold together in one simple move without any tools and collapse to a compact size, 25cm (10 in.) diameter, for easy transport. Masts are held within the tripods by two large tripod heads and secured by three screw knobs. Legs fold out to a 108cm (3.5 ft.) radius. Tripod head and legs are aluminum, and the threaded inserts and hardware are stainless steel. Choose tripod models that have either 120cm (47 in.) or 140cm (55 in.) mast clamp spacing and accommodate mast base sections of 25mm (1.00 in.) to 70mm (2.75 in.) or heavy-duty models that accommodate mast base sections of 50mm (2.00 in.) to 90mm (3.54 in.) OD. For sandy or soft terrain, order a set of WMO-18312 tripod foot plates to help create a more stable surface (sold separately).

WiMo X-Quad Antennas
WiMo X-Quad Antennas, with separate monoband models for 144-146 MHz or 430-440 MHz, represent a refinement of VHF and UHF cross-polarized Yagis. They are well-known in Europe as "multi-element quads"—an antenna with aluminum elements, not a wire and fiberglass antenna—which offer excellent gain with a relatively short boom length. X-Quads are a great solution due to their short length and lightweight construction, especially for VHF/UHF satellite systems which require rotation in all compass directions and elevations. Two X-Quad Antennas, one for 144-146 MHz and one for 430-440 MHz, may be mounted at opposite ends of an azimuth-elevation rotator cross-boom for high-performance full duplex Satellite operations. For either or both bands, X-Quad Antennas may instead be used in a stationary mount, as pictured, for all-mode terrestrial operations. In either application, multiple X-Quad Antennas may be stacked vertically and horizontally for additional gain and tighter patterns. The WiMo X-Quad special features, developed specifically for Satellite Amateur Radio include: * Switchable Polarization Plane; horizontal/vertical/right hand circular/left hand circular (remote switching requires optional equipment) * High gain compared to other antenna forms due to the "stacking effect" * Short boom length and compact design * Back-end boom or mid-boom centered mounting to the mast is possible The radiator element is a "stacked quad" multi-element beam, for which linear polarization can be compared to a crossed slotted radiator. However, the advantage of the X-Quad is that it can be optimally used for the desired polarization by simply changing the feed. Compared to a typical cross-polarized Yagi, all directors and reflectors are active in the X-Quad, which enables the compact design. As with cross-polarized Yagis, switching is accomplished on the mono-band X-Quad either by a coaxial relay or with a band specific WiMo Remote Polarization Switch (sold separately). If the remote switch is mounted at the antenna, then only one coax cable and a 4-conductor control cable are required, sold separately. If the Switch is used at the station, then two coaxial cables from the antenna to the station are needed. The WiMo X-Quad Antenna can also be permanently set for circular operation by using an optional, band-specific Phase Line. The secondary elements are arranged diagonally in relation to the square-shaped driven element, which corresponds to the voltage distribution on the radiating element, for the most favorable results. In comparison to Yagi antennas, the X-Quad pattern and tuning are affected less by the influence of external fields, making them ideal for installation under a roof, in an attic space. All elements are electrically conductively connected with boom and cable outer sheath, thus eliminating interference from atmospheric noise. Two Type-N female coaxial connectors, one for each polarization, are mounted in a housing that is waterproof. Boom and elements are made of aluminum, all hardware is stainless steel. Construction and design of the antennas are protected by law (DBGM). The antennas are designed for boom-end mounting; however, alternatively the mast clamp can be mounted in the middle of a non-metallic boom. These antennas have a split boom, so their transport length is only 29.53 in. (75cm) for the 2m antenna and 25.59 in. (65cm) for the 70cm X-Quad. For portable operations they can be stowed away comfortably in the trunk of car and their shipping costs are comparatively low.

WiMo Aluminum Telescoping Masts
WiMo Aluminum Telescoping Masts are convenient for many tasks. Made of a strong yet lightweight weather-resistant alloy, these metric-sized masts are primarily intended for temporary and portable use. They may also be used for long-term installations with the WiMo WMO-23050 Metal Guy Ring Kit. The versatile masts have a range of uses, including vertical antenna construction, installation of weather stations, and mounting of a security camera. They're made of slotted aluminum tubing that can be extended to the desired length. Mast models are available with extended lengths of 5 to 16 meters (16.4 to 52.5 ft.). Each section can be locked solidly in place with the attached clamps. Load capacity of the masts is determined by the clamping length and height; depending on the diameter, weights up to 4 kg (8.818 lbs.) or more are possible. The maximum extension length of each section is limited by a marking ring at approximately 20cm (7.874 in.) above the bottom of the tube. The sizes of the telescoping aluminum tubing are in 5mm (0.197 in.) increments, with a nominal wall thickness of 2mm (0.079 in.).

WiMo Big Wheel Horizontal Loop Antennas
WiMo Big Wheel Horizontal Loop Antennas are VHF or UHF omni-directional, horizontally polarized antennas used for weak signal work on SSB, CW, and digital modes. They are ideal companions to directional beam antennas; by covering all directions at once, they help make sure you don't miss that rare contact that may otherwise be lost. Constructed from stainless aluminum and stainless steel hardware, featuring low loss Type-N connectors, these unique monoband antennas cover 50 to 52 MHz (1,000 watt) or 144 to 146 MHz (500 watt) or 430 to 440 MHz (200 watt) providing 3 dBd gain. Two Big Wheel antennas vertically stacked will achieve about 5 dBd gain with a monoband power divider or coaxial phasing harness that connects two same-band antennas to one coax feedline.

WiMo Remote Polarization Switches
WiMo Remote Polarization Switches are 4-way mast-mount relays used to change the polarization plane on a WiMo X-Quad or other cross-polarized Yagi. Selectable polarization planes are horizontal, vertical, right-hand circular and left-hand circular. For each band, 2 meters and 70 cm, there are two WiMo Remote Polarization Switches models available, differing by the maximum output power. These remote control polarization switches may be used for WiMo X-Quad Antennas as well as for any third-party cross-polarized Yagi antennas. WiMo Remote Polarization Switches are mast-mountable weather-proof relay boxes equipped with Type-N connectors. Two inputs are for the antenna and one coax output goes to the transceiver. Remote operations require an additional 4-conductor DC control cable, sold separately. Switches are supplied with a mast clamp and the required 4-pin plug for the control cable. The switchbox that would be located at the station is not included. The user may use a simple chassis box or panel and a 4-position rotary switch, or automation control, with an external 12 VDC power supply to switch the relays, which draw 100 mA max. A diagram appears in the instructions (see Documentation). WiMo Remote Polarization Switches were developed in the RF lab of SSB-Electronics and are available only as a WiMo product, exclusively through DX Engineering in North America.

Wimo Heavy Duty Fiberglass Telescoping Masts
Wimo Heavy Duty Fiberglass Telescoping Masts are quick and easy to set up, so they are ideal for portable operations such as Field Day, POTA, or a quick activation from a balcony or backyard. These reinforced telescoping masts are rigid, non-conductive and consist of a total of 10 segments. The non-removable bottom cap is flush with the bottom tube, so it does not increase the diameter of the mast. The diameter of the top tube is approximately 0.43 in. with a wall thickness of 0.04 in. and the bottom tube is approximately 1.80 in. with a wall thickness of 0.08 in. and can safely handle wire antennas, a small VHF Yagi, or other small devices.
