New for 2026 we have introduced the "FlyTenna XL" part of our premium range of portable antennas.
 
In the same way our original FlyTenna is designed, this antenna has the transformer built into the centre of the winder. However, we are now using our AirCore to provide additional voids for additional core cooling for increased performance in the field whilst offering some weather protection.
 
Built around a Fair Rite 2643251002 core with 90+% efficiency from 40m-10m. The antenna comes with 21.5m of strong low temperature silicone coated wire (80m version available using DX wire, please contact us for a price), clips, bag, cable ties, Velcro stap, two tent pegs and 2m x 2 of paracord with clips and tensioners. The additional items will help you deploy the antenna to a fibreglass pole, tree etc.
 
At approx. 680 grams this is a great antenna for field events, possibly a little too heavy for portable use.
 
This is a really good choice for 400w SSB and 100w data where higher duty cycles are needed for a longer period (CW/FT8/FT4).
 
Key features of this antenna include.
 
PCB Sides for added strength and durability
Fair-Rite 2643251002 core wound 56:1
1mm square conductor low temperature silicon wire
SO239 connector
Large handle
Additional connection for counterpoise, if required
ABS Centre core for better heat endurance
Deployment kit
 
The antenna will need some tuning to 7.00mhz.
