DX Engineering 80 Meter Self Supporting Heavy Duty Vertical Antennas
DX Engineering 80 Meter Self Supporting Heavy Duty Vertical Antennas, model DXE-7580FS-VA-2, are high performance vertical antennas specifically designed for the 75/80 meter band. These DX Engineering 70.5 ft. vertical antennas allow you to achieve the strongest possible presence at your power level and be competitive. These are FULL SIZE, quarter-wave vertical antennas that deliver fantastic specs and the highest possible performance at a price that can easily be justified. Every design detail of the DXE-7580FS-VA-2 Heavy Duty Verticals provide for a very rugged 80 meter antenna that can stay up with no guying necessary and no worry. A 3 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 Vertical Antennas offer full band coverage, with a 2:1 SWR bandwidth of up to 557 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 Vertical Antennas feature: -- Self-supporting – will withstand steady-state winds in excess of 92 MPH without guying (guying required under extreme wind speed conditions) -- 5 kW SSB and CW rated—unparalleled reliability -- Ultra-rugged construction starts with 3 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 Vertical Antennas are very affordable, and could very well be the finest 80 meter antenna you will ever own.

DX Engineering 160 Meter THUNDERBOLT® Vertical Antennas
DX Engineering 160 Meter THUNDERBOLT® Vertical Antennas are high-performance antennas specifically designed for use on Top Band. You will achieve the strongest possible presence at your power level and be competitive with a 160 meter vertical monoband antenna that is only 55 feet tall! A custom-designed capacity hat system allows you to get on 160 meters with unparalleled performance. Wires and ropes have been accentuated in our product image for your viewing clarity. They are much less visible in an actual installation with minimal visual impact for such a large antenna. DX Engineering 160 Meter THUNDERBOLT® Vertical Antennas are tunable with an impressive 40 kHz bandwidth. This means that operation on the CW DX frequencies and DX Phone frequencies are within the range of most internal tuners - no physical changes to the antenna are necessary. DX Engineering DXE-160VA-1, made with sectional aluminum tubing, is a 55-foot high Monoband Vertical Antenna system with a massive 3-inch OD base section. Included with this antenna system is a rugged, patented* stainless steel pivot fixture for ease of raising, lowering and tuning adjustments. Engineered with 6061-T8 and 6063-T832 corrosion-resistant aluminum tubing, stainless steel mounting brackets and stainless steel hardware, this antenna is very durable and attractive. Why Does This Antenna Perform So Well for Its Height? The top capacity hat is large enough that the current along the radiator is almost constant. Typical shortened verticals for this band, with smaller top-hats, have currents that vary along the length and end up producing much less signal strength. This also works in the receive mode to let you hear weaker signals, although at this frequency range dedicated receiving antennas are almost a must. See DX Engineering's full line of Receive Antennas and Array Systems. DX Engineering 160 Meter THUNDERBOLT® Vertical Antennas feature: * High Efficiency Design * 5 kW SSB and CW rated * Unparalleled reliability * Custom designed capacity hat engineered for top performance * DX Engineering Adjustable Matching Network configures the lowest SWR * Broad 2:1 SWR bandwidth - 40 kHz - CW + DX Phone * Lowest possible take-off angle reduces domestic QRM signals * Easy tilt up and down-- Unique fold-over antenna mount features DX Engineering's patented pivoting fixture, *U.S. Patent Number 8,130,168 * High power handling and high strength, UV protected EXTREN® insulators * Ultra-rugged construction starts with 3 inch OD Aircraft Grade heavy wall tubing * Withstands steady-state winds in excess of 50 mph The optional DXE-VRW-1 Manual Winch for easy one-person raising and lowering of the antenna is available from DX Engineering. You can move the DXE-VRW-1 winch between similar antennas in a multi-antenna installation. This antenna system requires the installation of a heavy duty mounting pipe set in concrete.

Depth of the mounting hole and amount of concrete is dependent on local soil type, condition and antenna guying. THUNDERBOLT® Vertical Antennas require a good ground radial system. We recommend a minimum of 32 radials, 65 ft. long, but more radials that are all longer will be more efficient for better signals.
