This is a tried-and-tested, highly portable, lightweight End Fed Half Wave antenna, designed for durability, efficiency, and ease of use in the field.
Built using a single Fair-Rite T140-43 core (49:1 winding), a TDK 1kV 100pF capacitor, BNC connector, banana plug connections, and a secure Velcro strap.
The integrated strap retains the antenna wire neatly on the winder and can also be used to fasten the transformer to an antenna mast or small branch.
Included:
- 49:1 transformer
- T140-43 ferrite core
- Velcro retaining strap
- Approx. 21.5m antenna wire
- 2 × ultra-small dog bone connectors
Suitable for vertical, inverted V, or inverted L configurations, this antenna is ideal for SOTA, POTA, and BOTA activations.
The single T140-43 core supports up to 100W SSB or 25W CW/Data (duty cycle dependent).
Note:
The antenna is supplied with approximately 21m of SOTA-style wire. Minor trimming may be required to achieve resonance at 7.000 MHz. With the supplied wire length, the antenna will also resonate on the 20m, 15m, and 10m bands.
Always check your SWR before operation to ensure a proper match between your transceiver and antenna.
