DX Engineering® OMNI-TILT® Vertical Antenna Tilt Bases

DX Engineering® OMNI-TILT® Vertical Antenna Tilt Bases are a completely new design that incorporates features that make this Tilt Base a 'must-have' for all types of vertical antennas. The OMNI-TILT® is patterned on the same proven safe technology as the patented DX Engineering® SAF-T-TILT® and the patented DXE-TB-3P Tilt Bases, that are designed to prevent the antenna from falling when the fasteners are loosened. The user simply lifts the OMNI-TILT® base plate and this positive action disengages the bolts from the top slot, which allows the user to easily and safely walk the ground-mounted antenna up or down for tuning, maintenance, stealth antenna stowing, or in the event extreme weather is on the way. Order one of these OMNI-TILT® models for your vertical antenna system: DXE-OMNITILT-1P for Hustler BTV Series and Hy-Gain AVQ Series Trap Vertical Antennas--Both antenna types use the supplied DXE-TVA-HWK Trap Vertical Mounting Hardware kit. DXE-OMNITILT-2P for Elevated Mount Verticals, include Cushcraft R8, R9, Hy-Gain AV-640, MFJ, GAP and many other antennas for HF and VHF – DXE-OTMC-250P Clamps (2) are included for customer-supplied upper antenna support tubing or pipe of 1.25 to 2.50 in. OD. NOTE: Both models REQUIRE two (2) optional DXE-OTMC-250P clamps to attach the non-tilt part of OMNI-TILT® to a user-supplied lower Mast Pipe of 1 1/4 to 2 1/2 in. O.D. The ability to attach this tilt base and your antenna to a pipe from 1 1/4 up to 2 1/2 in. is an important new feature of the OMNI-TILT®. Alternatively, all OMNI-TILT® models may be mounted on a 4 x 4 in. or larger wooden post with user-supplied attachment hardware; typically lag screws. This is why the DXE-OTMC-250P clamps for the non-tilt portion are NOT SUPPLIED, as they would be unused with wood-post installation and at added expense. DX Engineering® OMNI-TILT® bases are custom made from laser cut 1/8 in. thick Stainless Steel for strength and durability. All of the hardware used in the OMNI-TILT® Base is Stainless Steel to ensure long and dependable service. The DX Engineering® OMNI-TILT® is a 2-piece assembly of stainless steel U-shaped plates. As noted above, the OMNI-TILT® rear plate is typically mounted to your 1.25 in. to 2.50 in. steel pipe using the optional DXE-OTMC-250P Mounting Clamps, purchased separately for either model. The OMNI-TILT® front plate pivots on a pair of high-strength bolts. Both plates have extra holes to allow a wide range of optional mounting hardware to maximize the use of the OMNI-TILT® for many types of vertical antennas. For example, on both models OMNITILT -1P or -2P, the rear plate may be mounted with your hardware to a wood post, and the front plate accommodates other types of clamps for other antennas. DX Engineering® offers optional Tilt Base Wing Nut Knobs - DXE-AOK-OT1194 - that will allow for quick release of the DX Engineering® DXE-OMNI-TILT® base top bolts, without tools! Note: Whenever the DX Engineering® "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. Once again, DX Engineering® innovation produces a great, multi-purpose system for mounting and accessing an HF, VHF or UHF antenna. With OMNI-TILT®, there is no need to ask for help because you will be able to walk your own antennas up and down. These tilt bases are perfect for stealth antennas, or if you are concerned about the weather, or for making antenna adjustments. Put the convenience of DX Engineering® OMNI-TILT® Vertical Antenna Tilt Bases under your antennas!

WiMo ATAS 100/120 HF Counterpoise Kits

WiMo ATAS 100/120 HF Counterpoise Kits improve the performance of the ATAS-100 and ATAS-120 antennas when they are used as stationary or portable antennas. The well-known ATAS-100 and ATAS-120 antennas from YAESU were developed as vehicle antennas, but because of their compactness they are often used as portable or stationary antennas. Unfortunately, a balcony railing or the magnetic base alone are typically not sufficient to provide optimal results, so the use of a counterpoise system such as the WiMo ATAS-FGG is useful. The ATAS-FGG counterpoise kit consists of a solid aluminum ring that is attached directly to the ATAS-100 or ATAS-120 antenna with clamping screws and can remain on the ATAS during alternating mobile or stationary use. Eight aluminum radial elements are screwed into the ring and has an overall diameter of 13.12ft. (4m) when fully assembled. If space is not an issue, you can also connect one or more wire radials for the 40m band. NOTE - This counterpoise kit should only be used when stationary and is not intended for mobile use when the vehicle is in motion.

DX Engineering Vertical Antenna Matching Network

The DX Engineering Vertical Antenna Matching Network, DXE-VMN-1, is a custom-designed impedance matching coil that is used at the feedpoint of a low band HF quarter-wave vertical or a Hustler 4-BTV, 5-BTV or 6-BTV multi-band vertical antenna. In most ground-mounted 160, 80, 60 or 40 meter mono-band vertical antenna installations with very good radial systems and high efficiency, feedpoint impedance at resonance is naturally well below 50 ohms, typically between 25 and 40 ohms. Achieving the best SWR match to a 50 ohm coaxial cable feedline on these resonant vertical antennas usually requires this type of coil for adjusting feed point impedance. When mounted with the included L-bracket, the DXE-VMN-1 is just under 7 in. tall. It works as an impedance matching coil, also known as a shunt coil, because it is installed in parallel with the feedline, from the antenna to ground. Plus, it connects the antenna to DC ground to bleed off, or shunt, any static electric charge on the antenna to ground. Yet, it works perfectly as an impedance transformer at HF, just like a hair pin or beta match on a Yagi, easily handling legal limit RF power. The DXE-VMN-1 can aid in matching the low-impedance feedpoint of a multi-band antenna to a reasonable SWR in the user-selected portions of 80 or 40 meter bands without affecting the operation on the other, higher frequency bands. The DXE-VMN-1 has a special coil tap clip to make the inductance adjustment needed for the correct match. NOTE: This matching network is not for use on 43 ft. non-resonant multi-band verticals. It cannot be used as a series coil to "load" a vertical to a lower frequency operation, especially with high power. Matching network shunt coils, loading coils and baluns cannot be used on verticals used in a phased array. Most phased vertical array systems cannot work with matched 50-ohm feedpoints, but rather require 35-ohm, natural impedance feedpoints. Therefore, use the DXE-VMN-1 only on single vertical installations. DX Engineering Vertical Antenna Matching Network features include: * Precision-machined coil tube * Highest quality 12-gauge tin coated solid copper coil wire for high power handling, corrosion resistance, ease of soldering, and long-term reliability * Custom-made silver plated DX Engineering Coil Tap Clip (extras available separately as DXE-CLIP-P) * Custom L bracket for mounting to the optional DX Engineering Radial Plate, DXE-RADP-3 * #14 AWG stranded copper wire with ring terminals for connection to the antenna (adapt or remove as needed for other antennas) * Stainless steel mounting hardware When installed properly as an impedance matching coil, the DXE-VMN-1 easily handles the legal limit Amateur Radio power level of 1500 watts, 1.8 through 30 MHz. DXE VMN-1 maximum inductance by frequency: 300 kHz - 7 MHz: 5.6uH Up to 14 MHz: 7.2uH Up to 21 MHz: 8.5uH Up to 28 MHz: 8.0uH Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information.

COMTEK 20VA 20-10 Meter Vertical Antennas

COMTEK 20VA Vertical Antennas are rugged, yet economical quarter wave antennas designed primarily to be used in sets with phased vertical array systems. They are well suited for Four Square arrays from COMTEK and DX Engineering or any other four-square array systems. These monoband 20VA antennas may be used on any single band from 20 meters through 17, 15, 12, 11 or 10 meters by adjusting the length accordingly. Designed by the people who know all about phasing, these antennas provide precise control of all parameters. These verticals are constructed from 6063-T832 (drawn, not extruded) aircraft-specification aluminum tubing. COMTEK 20VA antennas taper from a large 1.0-in. OD base section to a 3/4-in. OD top section. While they're built to withstand the most rugged environmental conditions, light guying is always recommended for phased systems to keep the spacing precise and minimize swaying. High-strength, UV-resistant EXTREN insulators that won't crack, peel, splinter, or fail will ensure you of years of long-lasting, reliable performance under adverse conditions. Mounting brackets are laser-cut by the latest state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment. Stainless steel hardware is used throughout and the antennas come complete with V-saddle clamps for installation to your ground mounted pipe. Pipe of 2.0-in. OD is recommended but the clamps will accept any OD from 1 in. to 2 in. Plumbing galvanized water pipe called 1-1/2 in. size is actually 1.9 in. OD and works well. For a single 20 meter vertical or a set of elements for a phased array, consider COMTEK 20VA Vertical Antennas from DX Engineering!

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 Bulk Radial Wire Kits

DX Engineering Bulk Radial Wire Kits will help you achieve optimal performance with a ground-mounted vertical and allow you to install as many radials as possible. These PVC-insulated stranded-copper radial wires are UV-resistant and roll out easily, unlike the wire that's commonly available at "big box" stores. Any type of ground-mounted vertical antenna—an Inverted L for instance—can usually benefit from the addition of a radial system. The increase in field currents provided by radials improves efficiency and antenna Q. Compared to bare wire, DX Engineering Bulk Radial Wire Kits will last much longer when exposed to the elements. These kits include either steel or biodegradable resin radial wire staples for holding down the radials until grass grows over them. The kits work extremely well with DX Engineering Radial Plates (DXE-RADP-3) to create a complete radial system. Biodegradable staples allow easy installation of radial wires and will degrade and disappear in about a year when they are no longer needed, making them environmentally friendly! Biodegradable staples are intended for softer ground, where they may be pushed or lightly tapped into the ground with a tool head. Since they are a resin material, the staples are subject to breaking in rocky or hard soil. They're not intended to be hammered in; if hammering is required for installation, you should use the steel wire staples. Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information. For easy installation of antenna radials, DX Engineering Bulk Radial Wire Kits provide the wire, ring terminals and lawn staples. Suggested as a station upgrade product; make more contacts to worldwide DX stations and DXpeditions.

DX Engineering Tilt Base Antenna Mounting Systems

The patented* DX Engineering Tilt Base Antenna Mounting Systems enable an operator to raise or lower an antenna in seconds, while leaving the base of the antenna securely attached to the mounting plate and post. DX Engineering Tilt Bases make it easy to tune your vertical, repair, or simply lower your antenna to a safe horizontal position long before bad weather hits. One person can install, raise and lower, and service their vertical antenna with our stainless steel Tilt Base; just walk it up or down. The Tilt Base prevents potential accidents when climbing a step ladder to tune the antenna, especially on soft ground. This is an essential tool that has helped countless hams eliminate the possibility of personal injury and damage to their ground-mounted vertical antenna. There is no need to remove brackets from the support posts and you will never again have to lift the entire weight of the antenna in order to tilt it down or tilt it up. Nearly two decades of customer comments about DX Engineering Tilt Bases (and the Radial Plate) have included "it's a work of mechanical art" and another exclaimed "...it's so gorgeous I don't want to mount it outside, I want to hang it on the wall!" Year after year, users are thankful for the amazing ease of the Lift, Slide and Tilt action of this antenna mount for making antenna adjustments simple. Recently, DX Engineering customer Michael, KO4VVH, said "I wondered why this bracket had a cost over $60, but when it arrived today I was blown away. Heavy duty doesn't do this beast justice. Heavy plate stainless steel and it is one of the best mounts I've ever owned. It's big and heavy... Ultra heavy duty. I will mount it up to my Hustler 5BTV HF antenna so I can drop it to ground level for maintenance, adjustments and SWR tweaks. Thank you!" Precision-cut from 3/16 in. 304 stainless steel, these Tilt Base Antenna Mounts are virtually indestructible. They conveniently mount to the same ground pipe or tubing that you use for the antenna and Radial Plate. You could use lag screws or carriage bolts to mount the Tilt Base and the Radial Plate to a wood post, but typically they are securely mounted to a 2 in. max. OD pipe using optional SSVC-2P saddle clamps, displayed in "Required Parts". There are five versions of the DX Engineering Tilt Base Antenna Mounting Systems kit designed for a variety of HF antenna types: DXE-TB-3P: Specifically designed with included stainless steel hardware to mate with the antenna mounting bracket of the Hustler 4, 5 or 6 BTV vertical antennas. DXE-TB-4P: This Tilt Base model provides a mounting plate and clamps for tilting a customer supplied antenna support mast up to 1.75 in. OD and 10 ft. tall, for mounting elevated no-radial vertical antennas that weigh less than or equal to 20 pounds, and have a height of no more than 28 ft. The Vertical antennas and mast assemblies must be adequately guyed. Precautions must be taken when raising or lowering to avoid undue lateral stress on the tilt mechanism. The TB-4P is the tilt option for legacy DX Engineering vertical antenna models DXE-30VE-1, DXE-40-VE-1 and DXE-40VA-1. See the DXE-TB-7P below for the replacement COM-30VA and COM-40VA Monoband Vertical Antennas. DXE-TB-6P: Is specifically designed to mate to the antenna mounting bracket of the Hy-Gain AV-14AVQ (HGN-AV-14AVQ). This special tilt base mounting system includes stainless steel hardware that allows the AV-14AVQ to be closer to ground level for maximum performance.

Chameleon Antenna 33-Foot Counterpoise Kits

Chameleon Antenna 33 Foot Counterpoise Kits are purpose built for portable antenna deployments, making them ideal for POTA, SOTA, Field Day, and other field operations. These counterpoise wires enhance the performance of many portable vertical antennas by providing the essential ground plane radials needed for stronger transmitted and received signals. Each 33 foot wire is terminated with a 3/8 inch ring terminal, allowing quick and secure attachment to the base of the Chameleon MPAS, Basic Vertical (BV), Hybrid MICRO, Hybrid MINI, Chameleon Jaw Mount, or any other vertical antenna system that uses 3/8 inch radial screw terminals.
