The Smallest and Lightest Broadband Antenna System for  NVIS ALE HF

Barker & Williamson's MP manpack broadband folded dipole antenna, together with our manpack mast system, provides full HF communications capability in one small, light, rapidly deployable kit.    Although focused on operating NVIS propagation from a 20 Watt field radio such as the PRC-150, the antenna is capable of fully automatic, low SWR operation from 1.6 - 30 Mhz without need for an antenna tuner/coupler.  (For higher power operation use our BWDI line of folded dipoles.)  The NVIS propagation will allow no skip operation within approximately 250 miles, over all terrain and structures.  This antenna is frequency agile, and will operate continuous ALE or secure frequency hopping.  Weighing only 5 lbs, it will fit in the same bag with our manpack mast.

The antenna is amazingly compact and simple, comprised of only the center assembly, two spreaders, and the wire assemblies.  To deploy simply erect support poles, hang the center assembly from a snap hook, clip the wires to the center assembly, unroll the wires to the end supports, clip onto the end rings, tension, and snap in the spreaders.

There is nothing else available that can compete with the ease of use, rapid deployment time, or performance of this antenna.   Complete with thermoplastic housing, camouflage, super flexible insulated wires, 1/4 turn connections, wire winders.  Put it together with our manpack mast kit, and you have a total HF communications system in a 22" x 10" x 10" bag for NVIS.

As usual, B&W brings you the best!

 

Rapid Deployment One man can set up the antenna in under 5 minutes.
Complete The center assembly, two spreaders, and two wire assemblies comprise the entire antenna.
Small & Light Look at the pictures above.  Nothing could be smaller and operate HF!  Weighs only 5 lbs.
 Performance Light and easy to handle.  Super flexible insulated wires.   Operates 1.6 - 30 Mhz without a coupler required.
Camouflage Available in forest green and sand colors.
