Folded Dipoles - These are non-grounded, true balanced antennas,
and work without a ground. Use these for NVIS (short), medium and long
range communications. The physical setup (height and configuration) will
determine the type of propagation, and the distance of communication.
The NVIS setup is extremely useful for
disaster relief. This mode consistently gives the most reliable communication
links as compared to other antennas, as reported by military radio's ALQ
(automatic link quality) scores. This type of setup will give you maximum
compatibility with FEMA, national guard units (ground and air), and other
government agencies.
Don't be confused by all of the misinformation
out there. These antennas have been THE STANDARD for the
military, government, and emergency management for fixed/transportable HF for 25
years. Use the antennas that the professionals rely on.

End-Fed Vee - These are grounded antennas, and require a good
ground to propagate properly. Use these for roof tops (metal, and concrete
with rebar), and mounted from the
ground in good, moist soil conditions. This antenna has a very small visual
impact, as there is only a single wire in the air. This can also be
installed as a sloper from a tower or building down to the ground.
Accessories
- Our baluns and balancing networks are available in two power
ratings. Intended
for use with our folded dipole and end-fed Vee antennas, they may be used for Rhombics,
Delta loops, and V-beams.
We
also offer antenna wire in copperweld and stainless steel, supports, insulators,
camouflage line in four colors, assembled coaxial cables, and other useful
items.
