DX Engineering TWIG End Fed Half Wave QRP Antenna Feedpoint Kits are a compact, essential component for building a low-power (QRP) end-fed half-wave antenna system.
DX Engineering TWIG End Fed Half Wave QRP Antenna Feedpoint Kits are a compact, essential component for building a low-power (QRP) end-fed half-wave antenna system. Perfect for portable operations and outdoor activities such as POTA® or SOTA™, this feedpoint kit simplifies setup while delivering reliable performance. The TWIG is rated for 25W SSB, 10W CW, and 5W Digital modes, delivering an SWR of less than 2:1 without an antenna tuner.
At its core, the TWIG features a 49:1 transformer that matches the impedance of the user supplied half-wave element wire to 50-ohms, ensuring compatibility with most QRP transceive

At its core, the TWIG features a 49:1 transformer that matches the impedance of the user supplied half-wave element wire to 50-ohms, ensuring compatibility with most QRP transceivers. The BNC female connector pairs easily with recommended coax cables, and when the element wire is properly tuned, no external tuner is required—reducing the amount of gear you need to carry.
The kit includes a built-in quick connector designed for 24/26 AWG antenna wire, making element installation fast and secure. Two end insulators and clips are also provided, ensuring reliable strain relief and easy attachment of the antenna wire in the field.
Installation is quick and straightforward, allowing you to get on the air fast and start making contacts. No additional counterpoise wire is necessary; the coax cable serves that function when installed correctly. For best results, use optional 24/26 AWG wire such as CEW-VIZ24-YEL100, a high-visibility, PVC-insulated stranded copper wire.
A typical setup uses a sloper configuration, with the feedpoint about 6–7 feet above ground and the wire sloping upward to 25–30 feet. Recommended coax length is 25–35 feet with BNC connectors and adding an optional DXE-LPFC-BNC Feedline Choke at the transceiver end is suggested. While the antenna supports multiple configurations, wire length will vary based on installation.
