DX Engineering 80 Meter Self Supporting Heavy Duty Plus Vertical Antennas
DX Engineering 80 Meter Self Supporting Heavy Duty Plus Vertical Antennas, model DXE-7580FS-VA-3, are specifically designed for the 75/80 meter band. These DX Engineering 68 ft. vertical antennas are serious, FULL SIZE, full performance vertical antennas that will easily slip into any Amateur Radio station's arsenal, while delivering specs that would satisfy most commercial and military users. They are ultra-rugged, quarter-wave verticals that allow you to achieve the strongest possible presence at your power level and be competitive. Every design detail of the DXE-7580FS-VA-3 Heavy Duty Plus Verticals provide for a very stout 80 meter antenna that can stay up with no guying necessary and no worry. A massive 4 in. O.D. thick-wall 6061 aluminum tubing base and an extra-large insulating channel are combined with a patented* heavy duty stainless steel pivoting fixture that is second to none. Engineered for ease of assembly and adjustments, with corrosion-resistant aluminum tubing, stainless steel mounting brackets, and stainless steel hardware, these are very durable and attractive self-supporting antennas. If an extreme wind storm is predicted, one operator can easily lower and raise these antennas safely, due to the simplicity of the included Heavy Duty Pivoting Fixture and optional DXE-VRW-1 Manual Winch. DX Engineering 80 Meter Self Supporting Heavy Duty Plus Vertical Antennas offer full band coverage, with a 2:1 SWR bandwidth of up to 593 kHz, depending on your radial field. Your internal tuner can get the SWR down to 1:1 on any DX frequency for maximum power transfer. DX Engineering 80 Meter Full Size Quarter Wave Heavy Duty Plus Vertical Antennas feature: -- Self-supporting – will withstand steady-state winds in excess of 112 MPH without guying (guying required under extreme wind speed conditions) -- 5 kW SSB and CW rated—unparalleled reliability -- Ultra-rugged construction starts with 4 in. O.D. aircraft-grade heavy wall tubing -- Ultra-wide SWR bandwidth and unbeaten gain -- Highest wind ratings--high strength 6063/6061 tubing manufactured to DX Engineering specifications -- Easy tilt up and down-- Unique fold-over antenna mount features DX Engineering's patented stainless steel Pivoting Fixture, *U.S. Patent Number 8,130,168 -- High power handling and high strength, UV protected EXTREN® insulators -- No rust--100 percent stainless steel tubing clamps and hardware -- Reliability second to none--specially manufactured stainless and aluminum saddle clamps, stainless bolts, and precision machining on each antenna This antenna system requires the installation of a heavy duty mounting pipe set in concrete. Specifically, 3 in. OD high strength galvanized steel tubing with 0.250 in. minimum wall thickness and 7 ft. (84 in.) minimum length, which is available from DX Engineering; part number DXE-VGMT-3CG. A customer supplied 2-1/2 in. Schedule 80 pipe that has an outside diameter of 2.875 in. is also suitable. About 36 in. of the mounting pipe should extend above the concrete. Depth of the mounting hole and amount of concrete is dependent on local soil type, condition and antenna guying. Note: For additional information, please look at the files under the "Documentation" tab. Designed to the highest of standards, DX Engineering 80 Meter Self Supporting Heavy Duty Plus Vertical Antennas are simply the best 80 meter vertical antenna available today.

DX Engineering 8040VA-1 Dual-Band THUNDERBOLT® Vertical Antennas
DX Engineering 8040VA-1 Dual-Band THUNDERBOLT® Vertical Antennas are high performance vertical antennas specifically designed for the 75/80 meter and 40 meter bands. These DX Engineering 55 ft. dual-band vertical antennas supply performance which is virtually indistinguishable from our monoband vertical antennas. They are perfect for areas where there is no room for individual verticals. They also use the same radial system for both bands. DX Engineering 8040VA-1 Dual-Band THUNDERBOLT® Vertical Antennas cover the whole 40 meter band with one setting. The 80/75 meter band is tunable down to a 3,650 kHz center frequency with a 300 kHz bandwidth. This means that operation on the CW DX frequencies and DX Phone frequencies is within range of most radio internal tuners, so no antenna changes are necessary to switch frequencies. An optional CW optimizer DXE-7580-THK capacity hat kit allows for adjustment down to a 3,400 kHz center frequency for dedicated CW operators and military/MARS operations. The DX Engineering 8040VA-1 Dual-Band THUNDERBOLT® Vertical Antennas feature: * 5 kW SSB and CW rated for unparalleled reliability * Unique fold-over antenna mount features DX Engineering's patented pivoting fixture, U.S. Patent Number 8,130,168 * Massive high-efficiency trap assembly gives the strongest signal possible on both bands * Instant automatic band switching * DX Engineering adjustable matching network configures the lowest SWR * Broad 2:1 SWR bandwidth 400 kHz on 40m, 300 kHz on 80m * Lowest possible take-off angle reduces domestic QRM signals * Ultra-rugged construction starts with 3 in. O.D. aircraft-grade heavy wall tubing * Self-supporting base will withstand steady-state winds in excess of 50 mph without guying (guying required under extreme wind speed conditions) * Extremely high strength, heavy wall tubing made to DX Engineering specs * Massive EXTREN® channel insulator -- Laser-cut high strength stainless steel brackets This antenna system requires the installation of a heavy duty mounting pipe set in concrete. Specifically, 3 in. OD high strength galvanized steel tubing with 0.250 in. minimum wall thickness and 7 ft. (84 in.) minimum length, which is available from DX Engineering; part number DXE-VGMT-3CG. A customer supplied 2-1/2 in. Schedule 80 pipe that has an outside diameter of 2.875 in. is also suitable. 36 in. of the mounting pipe should extend above the concrete. Depth of the mounting hole and amount of concrete is dependent on local soil type, condition and antenna guying.
