Ideally
for the new entry class license - a new threeband dipole for use on three of the
four assigned bands for license calls "E". This antenna helps with getting your
feet wet on shortwave with minimal investments.
The antenna has four traps and is similiar to a W3DZZ design. The wire is made
of strong, plastic (PVC) coated steel braid. Length of antenna approx. 35m and
come complete assembled incl. balun, weight 1.2kg. Max. power is 200W SSB/CW.
Can also be mounted as Inverted Vee. Connector is a PL jack (female) on the
balun.

W-1610 160/80/15/10m Dipol |
Length
approx. 45m, includes Balun, max 200" SSB/SW.
The antenna weighs approx. 2.5kg. When the antenna is supported only at the ends
the pull forces can become very high. Therefore it is recommended to install
this dipole as an inverted Vee (supported from the middle) or to install an
additional support in the middle as well.
The bandwidth of this antenna on 80m is approx. 150-200 kHz (SWR < 2), on 160m it's about 40-50 kHz; to use the entire 160m band a tuner is required.

G5RV antenna 5 band (80-10m) or 4-Band (40-10m) |
Clever antenna for all bands 80 to 10m (or 40 to 10m, or 160 to 10m), consist
of a 31m long dipole which is fed with a 10m long parallel feed line. At the end
of the parallel feed (450 Ω) any length of coax can be used (balun version
required).
SWR on amateur bands is between 1:1 and 1:4, so a tuner is required. The
internal tuners of many radios are usually sufficient. Works with reduced
efficiency also on WARC bands.
Max. power load 1KW SSB/CW, come complete with parallel wire fed, PVBC coated
antenna wire.
If you have the space the G5RV (40m or 80m version) can be used in conjunction
with our fibre glass mast 1833x. Just hang one side (the hot side) of the
antenna down that mast, the other (cold) side is used as a radial. The ladder
feedline is also fed sideways, like a second radial.

Windom antenna |
Well renowned antenna for the harmonic bands 80, 40, 20, 17, 12 and 10m. Somewhat more bandwidth then a dipole, good SWR on all bands. At space restricted environments the antenna can be installed at an angle or non straight layout. Antenna wire of PVC coated steel wire. Includes balun 1:6, max, power load 200 or 1000 Watt SSB/CW, connector PL. The balun is located at one third of the antenna length.
The windom antennas for 160-10m and 80-10m can be extended to work on 30/15m
by adding two simple wires.
The length of the wires is 9,5m for the longer part and 4,8m for the shorter
part, incl. the loops for the end isolators. The new wires are connected to the
balun in parallel to the existing wires and should be installed as far apart
from the existing wires. Either sloped to the bottom like an inverted Vee or to
the sides, forming a crossed dipole.

City Windom Antenna |
Innovative Windom antenna with feed at the end!
City-Windoms have in contrast to the most end-feed antennas no high imedance and frequency dependent matching circuit at the feed. Physically the antenna is with a end feet but electrically the antenna is center fed like a normal windom antenna. They thus behave like Windom Antenna: Resonant on 80/40/20/17/12/10m, low impedance, undisturbed pattern. The antennas need no anchor point in the middle! So you can just go from the window of an opposite point (tree or house, etc.).
The 'big' City Windom has a total length of 40m and works on the bands 80/40/20/17/12/10m without tuner; operating on 15m is like any Windom antenna with compromises and tuner possible. The smaller model has a length of 20m and covers bands 40/20/10m without tuner, 17/12m with tuner.
Supplied complete with insulator 'egg' for suspension, 1:6 balun, standing
wave trap at the entry point and 5m cable with PL connector.
The antennas can be loaded with max. 100W PEP and weight is 1.6 kg.

Due to a very large L/C ratio the outer wires for 80m can be shortened much
more than usual. The inner part for 40m remains unchanged, giving you full
bandwidth. The price to pay for the shorter antenna is a limited bandwidth on
80m, approx. 110kHz at SWR < 1:2. So if you have limited space and if you can
live with good SWR only on a part of the band this shortened W3DZZ is for you.
Otherwise the construction is the same as the usual W3DZZ. Total length 24,80m,
optimal band center SWR is adjusted by changing the outer wire length. Steel

Chameleon EMCOMM II |
A slightly different form of hybrid is the Chameleon Emcomm II.
The Emcomm II is a portable antenna, which can also be very good to use as a
base station antenna. With the large frequency range of 1.8 - 54MHz, this
antenna covers all shortwave bands completely. At the Emcomm II a 18m wire
already connected. In contrast to the hybrid, mobile Whips etc. can not be
mounted. For easy installation, the balun has on the top a ring terminal with a
snap hook which serves simultaneously as a tension relief for the radiator. On
the bottom there is a PL-jack for the coaxial cable and an additional screw with
wing nut for a ground connection.
The antenna can be built in different variants to the optimal use of (non)
available space. At the same time you can also influence the emission behavior
of the Emcomm II by these different structure types.
The Emcomm II supports up to 500W PEP (250W CW). Depending on the configuration,
a tuner is required. The built-in tuner in transceivers are fully sufficient
here.

MTFT Magnetic Balun |
Be on the air with just some meters of wire!
Can be used wit hreduced efiiciency up to 150 MHz
Principle of operation:
Usual internal tuners or external tuner only have a limited impedance range. The
matching of a short wire (short in comparision to the wavelength) with it's high
impedance is usually not possible.
Futher the wire is usually outdoors, the tuner sits in the shack, but the wire
cannot be connectied to the tuner with a coax feed... Here a wire tuner like the
SGC products will help - at a price!. But there is a more economic alternative.
The MTFT is a resistance transformer with a ratio of 1:9. It reduces the extremely high impedance of a short wrie to a range which can be matched with a normal tuner. The balun must be used right at the antenna wire, don't use coax to feed the wire. The MTFT is then connected with a coax to the tuner, the SWR on this line is usually below 3:1, losses through resonant waves are low.
The required wire length should be at least 6m. Ground connection is good, conenct ground with a clamp to the ground of the PL connector, not to the insulated case. If no ground can be used at the balun at least the transceiver should be grounded. If necessary use a common mode filter right below the balun. Instead of a ground connection a counterpoise can be used.
F6JSZ installed a 20m long windom, fed with the MTFT at one third from the
end, 20m coax to the rig. He writes in french "CQ" that he had a SWR better then
1.5:1 on all amateur bands and didn't require a tuner.
But the MTFT cannot only be used with a wire but with any metallic object -
water pipes, rain pipes or CB antennas (remove matching elemens of the antenna
before use). The MTFT is an excellent tool for the experiemntal amateur...
Of course the MTFT can be used for transmission, max. power load is 100W PEP.
For shortwave listeners the MTFT is an ideal accessory: a simple wire connected to the world band receiver is very badly matched, resulting in only mediocre efficiency. With the MTFT the match is greatly improved. An additional matching unit is not required.
Model 11370 is not weatherproof, use additional cober when using outdoors.

High Grade Antenna Wire Silver coated with steel center |
The HFW-2 is a high quality antenna wire for the construction of antennas. Whether you want to build a dipole, a wire beam, a long wire, a quad or a Deltaloop - with this strand can solve many of the usual problems.
HFW-2 is stranded on a stainless steel core with 1.5mm Ø established. It is a silver-coated copper mesh with 2.1 mm outer diameter. Due to the steel core in a very high tensile strength, such measures can also be very long, free-hanging antennas as Beverages, dipoles etc. taut tension. The silver-coated copper braid provides excellent conductivity. This helps especially at the dipole center, where high currents can occur at high power.
In contrast of other "premium" wires with smaller diameters the HFW-2 strand is mademuch more robust and is, for example, also used in military antennas. The larger diameter provides larger bandwidths with dipole antennas. The silver coating of dense copper braiding provides excellent conductivity in order to handle higher power.
The outer jacket is made of a special UV-resistant PVC with 3mm outer diameter.
All in all, the HFW-2 wire is an excellent alternative "Made in Europe" to other antenna wires. Durable, high tensile strength, weather proof, high power, relatively easy - better an antenna wire hardly be.
