DX Engineering DXE-VE-60-2P-RAD 60-Meter Monoband Vertical Antennas are high performance, mono-band vertical antenna systems that are easy to assemble, install and adjust.
Ruggedly built, they taper from a sturdy 2.125 in. O.D. base section to a 0.25 in. top section. This slow taper provides the widest bandwidth. The base sections are secured to a unique heavy duty insulated channel with DX Engineering's heavy duty U-saddle clamps. The massive EXTREN® fiberglass and polyester channel insulator supporting the rugged structural grade type 6063-T832 drawn aluminum antenna radiator has over twice the tensile and flexu

The base sections are secured to a unique heavy duty insulated channel with DX Engineering's heavy duty U-saddle clamps. The massive EXTREN® fiberglass and polyester channel insulator supporting the rugged structural grade type 6063-T832 drawn aluminum antenna radiator has over twice the tensile and flexural strength of competitive nylon materials, and they are superior for their RF handling characteristics.
An optimum 43 ft. in nominal length, these antennas provide full-band 60M coverage in an antenna that is one full quarter wavelength. Since the impedance at resonance of a properly installed quarter wave vertical is less than 50 ohms, the SWR may be optimized with the optional DXE-VMN-1 Matching Network Kit, rather than changing the length in an attempt to find better SWR.
Parts included with DXE-VE-60-2P-RAD antenna kits are:
* DXE-MBVE-5ABASE
* DXE-MBVE-5ATOP
* DXE-MBVE-5A60MCK (60 meter kit)
* Maxi-Core® 20 1:1 Current Choke Balun
* DXE-UN-BRKT-5A Balun mounting bracket
* DXE-RADP-3 Radial plate
* DXE-STPL-100P radial ground staples
* DXE-RADW-500 radial wire (500 ft. coil)
* DXE-225RT-20 Ring terminals
* DXE-SSVC-2P Saddle clamps
The SAF-T-TILT Tilt™ Base, supplied with the DXE-VE-60-2P-RAD, allows you to make tuning changes easily.
Designed with 6063 corrosion-resistant aluminum tubing and stainless steel hardware, these antennas are very durable and attractive. With excellent surface appearance, 6063 aluminum alloy is the best alloy for high strength, long-lasting antenna applications.
60 meters is used throughout much of the world as an emergency and search and rescue band. Carrier frequencies from 5.102 through 5.425 MHz are used, with Upper Sideband as the emission mode. Due to limited access and rugged terrain, heavier activity exists in Australia and the State of Alaska. Alaska's emergency channel is 5167.5 USB. Australia has a 60 meter health and welfare net to monitor its citizens traversing the treacherous Outback regions.
Amateur Radio operations have also been authorized on 60 meters in many parts of the world. In the USA, five channels are available including 5330.5 kHz, 5346.5 kHz, 5357.0 kHz, 5371.5 kHz, and 5403.5 kHz. These are the frequencies that appear in your transceiver's tuning display when your transceiver is properly set in the USB mode.
Note: Whenever the DX Engineering "Documentation" tab is available, please look at the associated files for additional product information.
CW and digital modes may also be used on 60 meters. That makes 60 meters a worldwide and versatile DX band! Get in on the 60 meter action with a robust quarter wave vertical antenna. Install DX Engineering 60 Meter Monoband Vertical Antennas and put your transceiver to work on 5 MHz!
