HF Stealth and Portable Antennas
REZ Antenna Systems Z-17CSS Compact Telescoping Whips
REZ Antenna Systems [Z]-17CSS Compact Telescoping Whips are compact, travel-optimized 17.5-foot telescopic stainless steel whip antennas designed for operators who need serious performance in a more packable form factor. With a shorter collapsed length and a full extra 6 inches of extended height over traditional 17' whips, the [Z]-17CSS provides enhanced tuning flexibility when external factors—like ground conditions, coil loading, or terrain—call for just a bit more whip. When paired with the Scout base, the Z-17CSS is resonant as a ¼-wave vertical from 20 through 6 meters. It can also be loaded for 40 meters using the Scout 4017 coil, Recon 40, or Ranger 80 systems—making it a highly versatile whip for portable HF operation. The [Z]-17CSS uses a riveted base rather than a cross pin—an upgrade that ensures the internal wall of the tubing is tightly clamped to the threaded base for excellent mechanical strength and consistent electrical contact. With 17 telescoping sections and a 1,000-watt PEP rating, the [Z]-17CSS is the ideal whip for operators who prioritize minimal pack size without sacrificing performance or ruggedness in the field.

SOTAbeams Antenna Lifting Kite
The SOTAkite is specifically selected to be used as an integral piece of a kite-borne antenna system. They are easy to fly and stable making them the perfect aerial-platform. Large enough to lift antennas with ease but small enough to remain easy to control, even in high winds. Available from DX Engineering, the Antenna Lifting Kite with Plus Pack includes SOTAkite, drogue tail, 200 ft. 55 kg. braided Dacron line on reel, instructions, kite bag, 5 meter Shock Cord, two versatile top insulators and two 470K-ohm static bleed resistors. Operating wind speeds of the SOTAkite are 5 to 18 mph, which is a good wide range for maximum utility. The nylon flying surface of the kite is 168 x 100 cm (55 x 34 in.) and is considered by the manufacturer to be suitable for users ages 14 and up. Safety First: In many localities there are restrictions on kite flying. Check your local and national regulations first. Kite antennas must never be used if there is any risk of lightning. They should never be flown within the proximity of the antenna wire length to electrical power lines, any structures, or public roadways.
