DX Engineering Supports the XV2D Vietnam DXpedition

XV2D Mui Ne, Vietnam, November 23-December 5, 2015. The timing couldn’t be better as the XV2D team heads to the southern coast of Vietnam. The DXpedition occurs over the weekend-long 2015 CQ Worldwide CW Contest, which means Ham Radio enthusiasts from across the globe will be eager to make contact with the XV2D stations. The DXpedition will operate on the HF bands using CW, SSB and Digital modes.

DX Engineering supplied the team with a pair of HF antennas: the Butternut HF2V 2-Band Vertical and Comet’s H-422 Rotatable Trapped Dipole. The antennas are an excellent choice for a DXpedition, as they both feature a perfect blend of versatility, durability and portability.

Manufactured by DX Engineering, the Butternut HF2V is a long-trusted HF vertical that offers exceptional 80 and 40 meter performance. It can be mounted right to the ground and is just 32 feet high, perfect for temporary installations. The HF2V handles the full legal limit.

The Comet H-422 is optimized for the 40, 20, 15 and 10 meter bands, giving plenty of band coverage for the anticipated popularity of the DXpedition. The DXpedition team was particularly attracted to the H-422’s hassle-free set-up and small, 18 foot rotation radius. The HF antenna handles 1,000 watts.

DX Engineering also provided three of its 400MAX DX Series Low-Loss 50-Ohm 100 Foot Cable Assemblies. 

To give Amateur Operators an opportunity to emulate the XV2D Vietnam DXpedition, DX Engineering has created a XV2D DXpedition Combo.
