The Grazioli Antennas MV6 UpKit is a purpose-built 40-meter upgrade kit designed to expand the capabilities of the MV6 multiband vertical antenna by adding coverage
The Grazioli Antennas MV6 UpKit is a purpose-built 40-meter upgrade kit designed to expand the capabilities of the MV6 multiband vertical antenna by adding coverage of the 40-meter amateur band (7 MHz). Engineered for straightforward installation, the UpKit converts the existing MV6 into a configuration equivalent to the MV7 by incorporating the components necessary to support efficient 40-meter operation while retaining the antenna's original multiband functionality.
The upgrade utilizes a specially designed capacitive-cap loading coil assembly together with an additional vertical radiator section that transforms

Engineered for straightforward installation, the UpKit converts the existing MV6 into a configuration equivalent to the MV7 by incorporating the components necessary to support efficient 40-meter operation while retaining the antenna's original multiband functionality.
The upgrade utilizes a specially designed capacitive-cap loading coil assembly together with an additional vertical radiator section that transforms the MV6's central radiator into a dual-band 40/20-meter radiating system. Once installed, the upgraded antenna gains 40-meter capability while maintaining the performance characteristics of the original MV6 design. The kit supports up to 1,500 watts SSB operation on the 40-meter band and includes all required components for installation along with detailed instructions.
Dual-Band 40/20 Meter Conversion
At the heart of the MV6 UpKit is a loading system consisting of a capacitive-cap coil assembly and an additional vertical radiator section. These components work together to convert the existing MV6 central radiator into a dual-band element capable of operation on both 40 and 20 meters.
The loading coil provides the inductive loading required for efficient 40-meter operation, while the capacitive top section helps optimize electrical performance and allows the radiator to function effectively across both bands.
DBFC Counterpoise System
The MV6 UpKit includes the DBFC (Dual Band Folded Counterpoise) system, a specialized wire counterpoise designed to be installed on the existing MV6 radial structure. This system creates the proper electrical counterpoise required for resonance and impedance matching on the 40-meter band.
By integrating with the existing radial system, the DBFC design provides a compact solution that eliminates the need for long wire radials while extending low-band performance. Once installed, the upgraded MV6 utilizes the same fundamental 40-meter operating concept incorporated into the MV7 antenna.
Simple Installation
The MV6 UpKit is supplied as a complete package containing the components required to perform the 40-meter conversion. Installation is designed to be quick and straightforward when following the instructions provided in the included manual, allowing existing MV6 owners to add 40-meter capability without replacing their antenna system.
MV7 Equivalent Performance
Once installed, the MV6 UpKit makes the MV6 functionally equivalent to the Grazioli Antennas MV7 by incorporating the same 40-meter operating architecture. This provides MV6 owners with a cost-effective path to expanded band coverage while preserving their existing antenna investment.
Built for Amateur Radio Applications
Designed specifically for Amateur Radio operators seeking additional HF band coverage, the MV6 UpKit extends the versatility of the MV6 platform without requiring a complete antenna replacement. The compact upgrade adds 40-meter capability through a carefully engineered combination of loading, radiating, and counterpoise components while maintaining the performance-focused design philosophy of the Grazioli antenna product line.
