Bushcomm HORIZON 2040 Center-Fed Dipoles

Bushcomm HORIZON 2040 Center-Fed Dipoles are designed to be durable in the extreme. They are also very economical over the long haul.

These stainless steel and copper antennas are constructed for emergency, temporary or permanent installation in some of the world's most inhospitable environments and they are built using only the highest-quality materials. And at only 13 meters in length, they will easily fit into most installation scenarios.

Commercial antennas are rated with a usable VSWR of 2:1 or under. Rating the Horizon 2040 using this method the resonant band width is appropriately 150 kHz at 40 meters, 300 kHz on the 20 meter band. In most cases this will be fine. But if you prefer wider band width or tighter SWR an on-board tuner or the addition of a good-quality external tuner will help.

When manufactured the antennas are hand tuned at approximately 3m (10 feet) above ground. For this reason, when you install the antenna, the height above ground or proximity of trees buildings sheds and so on will affect your SWR. You may have to retune for your requirements.
