Diamond Antenna Wire Antennas

Diamond Antenna W8010 Wire Dipole Antennas

Diamond Antenna W8010 Wire Dipole Antennas arrive with the really hard work already done for you! All of the wire lugs and connectors are in place and the loading coils are wound and ready to go. All that is necessary is to assemble the pieces and hang it up! The beauty of these shortened resonant dipole antennas is that they will cover 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters with an acceptable SWR and without an antenna tuner. However, due to the typically limited bandwidth of wire antennas, some trimming may be required to get the absolute best SWR from one band-end to the other. Each band is individually adjustable, as this wire antenna has two legs for 80, 40 and 15 meters and two for 20 and 10 meters, which are to be separated by at least 30 degrees vertically or horizontally. If you have an HF antenna tuner handy, then you will always have minimum SWR away from the center frequency. Add some rope and a coax to this low-loss coil loaded dipoles and put it up between trees or on a mast as a 4-way inverted-vee. With its 1200 Watt power rating, you'll be ready to operate and even snag some DX! An SO-239 connector allows for an easy coaxial connection to the center insulator and the approximate 63-foot length will comfortably fit most backyards. Diamond Antenna went to great lengths to seal their components against the weather, so durability and reliability come as standard features! When you're looking for an inexpensive five-band HF dipole, Diamond Antenna W8010 Wire Dipole Antennas are going to be hard to beat!
