Buckmaster OCF Dipole Antennas
Buckmaster OCF Dipole Antennas are made from the best quality materials with a completely potted waterproof balun and no external connectors. They are designed to give you years of trouble-free service! Buckmaster antennas are shipped fully assembled, ready to deploy with no tuning or trimming required. Choose a model with a 300 watt balun or a 3,000 watt balun. Each has a weather protected SO-239 connector. They are offered in three lengths to operate in these bands: - 270 ft. models cover 160, 80/75, 40, 20, 17, 12, 10, 6 meters - 135 ft. models cover 80/75, 40, 20, 17, 12, 10, 6 meters - 68 ft. models cover 40, 20, 10 and 6 meters Classic OCF (Off-Center Fed) antennas, like Buckmaster, typically have the feedpoint at the 2/3 and 1/3 point on the overall half-wave wire antenna. That means one leg is twice as long as the other. They are intended to be installed with the feedpoint at 35 ft. and the ends at about 15 to 25 ft. However, other installations such as a horizontal "flat top" can work very well. A tuner may be required for best SWR. Buckmaster OCF Dipole Antennas are a very simple way to get on the air and work multiple bands… quickly! They are a great choice as a first antenna or as a supplement to others.

Hustler 6BTV 6-Band HF Vertical Antenna and DXE® Installation Guide Packages
Hustler 6BTV 6-Band HF Vertical Antenna and DXE® Installation Guide Packages are trapped-vertical antennas that provide an omni-directional pattern. 6BTVs were designed as self-supporting verticals to provide efficient operation in the 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 75 or 80 meter bands. These antennas perform well in restricted space areas. For peak performance, a field of radial wires should be used. Hustler 6-BTVs provide for automatic selection of bands through the use of optimum-Q traps which are individually and precisely tuned and internally sealed at the factory. These traps are parallel-tuned circuits, which provide very effective isolation between the vertical sections, permitting precise multi-band operation. Broadband operation, with low SWR over the entire ham band, (limited on 80 and 75 meters), is possible in a proper installation. These antennas were designed to provide optimum performance from both an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Mechanically, these antennas boast a heavy-duty base and heavy-duty aluminum tubing throughout. The mechanical assembly is accomplished with all stainless steel hardware. Performance provided by the Hustler 6BTVs is better than any other antenna of this type. Broad-banding is such that one measurement and setting permits both phone and CW operation. The antenna provides nominal 52-ohm base impedance when installed and tuned according to the instructions. The radiation efficiency is equal to, or greater than, other trap verticals. An optional DX Engineering Tilt Base allows the antennas to be easily brought down during non-operating times or for tuning and maintenance.

Create CLP-5130-2N VHF/UHF Log-Periodic Antennas
Create CLP-5130-2N VHF/UHF Log-Periodic Antennas are high-gain, wideband directional beam antennas. Designed for horizontal polarization, they may also be mounted vertically with user-supplied hardware. These antennas are capable of transmitting on all amateur bands from 2-meters through 23-centimeters at 500 watts power! Forward gain from 105 MHz to 1,300 MHz is 11 to 13 dBi, depending on the frequency. They present an SWR of less than 2.0:1 across their entire 1,195 MHz range of operation. They are also suitable for use in scanner listening, VHF/UHF television, aviation band, government communications, and business-band radio. These log-periodics use a specially shaped aluminum boom that allows for movement of the phasing line. Additionally, distortions in the vertical and horizontal planes have been minimized and adjustment of the element-alignment is unnecessary. This results in a more uniform radiation pattern when compared to similar antennas. Create Log-Periodic antennas are very easy to assemble when compared to other log-periodic designs. Quality is seen everywhere… even the boom-to-mast bracket is made of a rugged magnesium alloy. A Type N connector is employed for maximum signal transfer at high UHF frequencies. To fully utilize the bandwidth of these antennas requires a high-quality coax, like DXE-400MAX or LMR-600. If you don't have the space or resources to put up several VHF and UHF antennas, Create CLP-5130-2N VHF/UHF Log-Periodic Antennas are truly your one-antenna solution to VHF/UHF operation up to 23 cm!

SSB Electronic Mast-Mount Preamplifiers
SSB Electronic Mast-Mount Preamplifiers are low-noise, band-specific, weatherproof preamplifiers designed for installation near VHF and UHF antennas. Available for the 6 meter, 4 meter (Europe), 2 meter and 70 cm Amateur bands, these preamplifiers are installed in-line, at the antenna. They improve receive performance by amplifying weak signals before feedline loss can reduce them. Powering and Sequencing Most models can be powered remotely through the coaxial cable, and many modern transceivers include a built-in bias-tee for mast-mounted preamplifiers. If the transceiver or transverter system does not provide power, an external bias-tee or remote-feed unit is required. • The DCW-15 and DCW 2004B provide sequencing support. • The DCC-12 does not provide sequencing. • SP series preamplifiers include a built-in RF VOX circuit for safe operations up to 100 watts; for transmit power above 100 watts, PTT control with a sequencer is required. Some models require a direct DC connection (UHF female). • -S series preamplifiers feature lower current signal relays with slightly higher insertion loss. • MHP and MHP-S series preamplifiers versions require sequencer control (see below). Signal Filtering and Switching Built-in helix filters effectively reject out-of-band signals, helping maintain clean receive performance. Real coaxial relays handle transmit/receive switching, resulting in very low insertion loss (except for SP-S series). And each amplifier is carefully calibrated at multiple test stations before packaging. Dual-Band Models Dual-band models include built-in diplexers, so they require only one connection for the multiband antenna and one connection for the station coaxial cable. MHP Series for Demanding Stations The MHP series is designed for demanding operating environments and provides higher gain for weak-signal modes such as Tropo-DX and EME. With maximum transmit power handling of 1500 watts on 6m and 2000 watts on 2m and 70cm, these preamplifiers are well suited for contesting, DX, and EME operation. Important Note for MHP Models Bias-tee power (on the RF coax) is not supported in most MHP Preamplifiers. They must be powered directly using the appropriate cable size for the required distance, and they may only be operated with a correctly wired sequencer, such as the DCW 2004 B Sequence Controller. Transmitting high power without a directly wired sequencer is likely to damage the MHP preamplifier. Housing and Hardware All SSB Electronic Mast-Mount Preamplifiers are supplied in UV-resistant, weatherproof housings with Type N female connectors. Hot-dip galvanized clamps and stainless steel mounting hardware are included. See individual models for band coverage and detailed specifications.

Unified Microsystems BevFlex-4X and BevFlex-4X/Q Reversible Receive Antenna System
Unified Microsystems BevFlex-4X Reversible Receive Antenna System is a very versatile two-direction low band receiving antenna. This is the updated and improved version of the W8GNM revolutionary design that uses only low cost, low loss RG-6 for the elements and the feedline of a Reversible Beverage antenna or Reversible Beverage on Ground antenna. Plus, it uses specially designed transformer units that allow the feedpoint unit to be placed anywhere along the length of the Reversible Beverage or BOG, instead of only at one end or the other. Like for other Beverage antennas, the Elevated Beverage or a Beverage on Ground (BOG), the performance of the reversible BevFlex-4X system depends upon the length of the user supplied RG-6 coax for the antenna element. Also, the versatile BevFlex-4X components may be used to create a two-direction version of any one of these antennas, using a much shorter length of wire for the receiving element: * EWE * Flag * VE3DO Loop BevFlex-4X Systems consist of four components; one Feed Unit, two Terminator Units and one Control Switch Unit. The Feed and Terminal Units are house in NEMA rated enclosures and use stainless steel hardware for maximum weather protection. Do you need enhanced reception in four directions? The BevFlex-4X/Q combines two sets of Terminator and Feed Units with the RAS-4 remote antenna switch to let you hear better in all four quadrants. The BevFlex-4X antennas can be any mix of Beverage, BOG, Flag, EWE, or VE3DO. The included RAS-4 Remote Antenna Switch only requires a single coax and four wire control cable to the shack. NOTE: An in-shack four direction switch control box is not included. Choose a control console from DX Engineering, EA4TX and others, or build your own. Just add RG-6 coax and ground rods! Click "More Details" and the Brochure link at the Documentation tab to see pdf diagrams of all of these two and four-direction BevFlex receive antenna system connections. Depending upon the real estate you have available, the FAQ chart will help you choose the Unified Microsystems BevFlex-4X or BevFlex-4X/Q configuration that fits your property and your low band reception needs!

Butternut 160 Meter Add-On Kits
Butternut 160 Meter Add-On Kit BUT-TBR-160X is designed specifically for the Butternut HF9V, HF6V and HF2V HF Vertical models. It is a parallel tuned circuit that consists of a coil and four high voltage RF capacitors with custom mounting plates, brackets and clamps. This assembly is installed at the base of the BUTTERNUT® HF Vertical antennas to achieve operation on 160 meters. This new design by DX Engineering incorporates four larger capacitors mounted between two aluminum plates. These new capacitor plates act as heat sinks, to reduce frequency drift when the components heat up under RF power and environmental conditions. Recommended maximum 160M power is 1,000W PEP SSB, 500W CW, 150W Digital (FT8, FT4, RTTY, etc). IMPORTANT NOTES • Your Butternut vertical antenna must be properly tuned on all bands PRIOR to adding this 160 meter kit. A very good radial system is a requirement for reasonable performance on all bands, but especially on the 160 meter band. Due to the effect of the installed 160 meter kit, the other bands will need to be retuned and the original shunt coil will require significant adjustment. • SWR bandwidth on 160 meters is very narrow. When tuning the antenna with an analyzer connected to the antenna matching section coax, choose the EXACT frequency you desire. DO NOT use any antenna tuner to operate on an off-resonance frequency above 2:1 SWR. Use of an antenna tuner is not possible because this is a very high-Q antenna inductor and capacitor combination that will not tolerate overheating. • Prolonged tune-up at maximum power levels must be avoided. Exceeding these levels may cause damage to the antenna, amplifier or transceiver. The TBR-160X functions as an inductive reactance in series with the antenna feedpoint, loading the antenna structure to resonate in the 160 meter band. On the higher bands the TBR-160X produces decreasing values of capacitive reactance, raising the resonant frequency (by 300-400 kHz) on 80 & 40 meters. Above 7 MHz this detuning is negligible and the antenna can be adjusted on all bands to compensate, as needed. In general, the only compromise that one must accept for the sake of 160 meter operation is reduced SWR bandwidth on 80 meters and to a lesser extent, on 40 meters with the HF2V/6V/9V. The TBR-160X SWR bandwidth of 2:1 or less on 160 meters will depend to a large extent on the efficiency of the ground system used with the antenna; 10 kHz is a typical figure with a fair-to-good ground system and a relatively short antenna such as the HF6V/9V. With the longer HF2V, especially if top loading "umbrella" wires are used, SWR bandwidths of 15 to 35 kHz between 2:1 points are possible. Even if greater bandwidths are possible with poorer, higher loss ground systems, performance would suffer. The best possible ground systems should always be used with electrically short loaded antennas. Since the Butternut verticals are very short antennas for 160 meters, full-size antenna performance should not be expected. A critical component of this type of antenna system is a very good radial system; 30 to 60 or more radials of 45 to 65 feet each is a requirement. Even at best the bandwidth will be very narrow so when tuning for 160 meters, you will have to determine which frequency in the band you want to use.

This powerful combo from QRO.cz includes the RX Preamp Module Box with a 2N5109 transistor and a Bias Tee Voltage Injector, offering a complete solution for enhancing receive-only antenna systems. The preamp is based on the proven W7IUV design and delivers up to 18dB of gain with a built-in variable attenuator, allowing precise control over signal amplification. A multi-turn potentiometer enables fine-tuning of the transistor bias for optimal linearity and performance. Two onboard relays automatically switch the unit to bypass mode when power is not present. Power can be supplied either directly via an external DC source or through the included bias tee, which injects DC voltage into the coaxial feedline while isolating the radio from DC current. The bias tee simplifies installation by combining RF and DC over a single coaxial cable, making it ideal for powering remote devices like preamps, relays, or antenna switches. Together, these components provide a clean, efficient, and flexible receive system for antennas such as beverages, Double Half Delta Loops, flags, and other popular RX designs.

CG Antennas BL-49 Unun
CG Antennas BL-49 Unun, also referred to as a 49:1 Balun, is an outdoor HF antenna feedpoint transformer. This high ratio device is particularly suitable for building an End Fed Half Wave, or EFHW antenna. Available as part number CGA-11365-49 from DX Engineering, this 49:1 Unun is built with heavy gauge wire and a large toroidal ferrite core which handles up to 600W PEP over the entire range from 1.8 to 30 MHz. The waterproof case is high strength plastic with a special valve to drain off unavoidable condensation while preventing insects from entering and nesting. A stainless steel eye hook at the top of the Unun provides an attachment point for a support rope to handle the weight of the Unun, antenna wire, and coax. Also on top is a stainless steel stud and wing nut for the antenna wire and another is on the bottom, next to a SO-239, for an optional counterpoise wire or ground connection. End-fed half-wave antennas (EFHW) are very popular because they are easy to hang in limited space installations while achieving multi-band functionality with a transceiver built-in tuner or an external wide range tuner. In many cases the use of a BL-49 Unun with a specific monoband wire length can achieve low or reasonable SWR on many harmonically related Amateur bands. The radiation pattern of an EFHW antenna is similar to that of a dipole and the 49:1 Unun adapts to different end-fed wire configurations; the antenna wire may be suspended straight and parallel to the ground, or angled as an inverted-V or inverted-L, or run diagonally as a sloper wire, with the BL-49 Unun feedpoint located anywhere from a few feet above the ground hanging high from a support. Experimentation is encouraged with this very adaptable and forgiving feedpoint method, where the position of the wire in relation to the ground or any metal having the greatest effect on the efficiency and the pattern of the EFHW wire antenna. See antenna texts and web forums for wire lengths known to provide the best results, such as 60-70 ft. for 80-10 meters.
