5 band trapped vertical antenna

A high quality HF base antenna made in the USA.

Exclusive trap design makes Hustler traps ultra stable and dependable.

Not only can you adjust the frequency by tubing length, the can actually tune the traps for up to 2MHz shift.

Large diameter tubing gives full bandwidth on 10m to 40m.
On 80m you get around 100kHz bandwidth.

The absence of tapered tubing makes this antenna really rigid and the 8mm base tube wall adds to rigidity.

Can be ground mounted or elevated.
Radials need to be supplied by the user.

Diamond CP-6

CP6

6 band trap vertical antenna

High quality base antenna for HF and 6m, made in Japan.

The CP6 covers five popular HF bands as well as additionally covering the 6m band.

For DX work you need low angle radiation which is just what you get from this popular model. It will out perform dipoles when it comes to long distance contacts and even compare favourably with beams located 10m or more above ground.

Unlike other verticals you don't need long wire radials. With the CP6 you get adjustable rigid radials that are self supporting, and a DC return in the base matching unit helps the antenna get rid of static noise which other models suffer from.

You can adjust the antenna for each band, something you will have to do on 80m as the bandwidth is quite narrow.

The radials may be arranged in a 360 degree circle or 180 degree arc.

5 band vertical antenna

The MA5V is Cushcraft's restricted space HF vertical antenna. It covers 5 HF bands, from 10m to 20m.

Power rating is an excellent 250W (SSB) and with a VSWR of 1.2:1 with usable bandwidths on each band.

The antenna does not require radials and is the perfect choice for patios, back-yards and small gardens. It can be quickly dismantled and stored if necessary.

The MA5V can be upgraded to also cover 6m with the addition of the MA5V6M 6m add-on kit, priced at £49.95.

Probably the most popular wire antenna available, it has been used for many years.

For best performance it must be used with an ATU, especially if used on a modern solid state radio.

The full size version covers 80m to 10m, the 1/2 size covers 40m to 10m. The resonant bands are 20m and 10m respectively.

Delux G5RV HF Wire Antenna

Same as the above antenna but made with new flexible "polyweave" cable, a woven copper wire with plastic covering.

For best performance it must be used with an ATU, especially if used on a modern solid state radio.

The full size version covers 80m to 10m, the 1/2 size covers 40m to 10m. The resonant bands are 20m and 10m respectively.

Sirio Balcony 27-200

SB200

A new compact base antenna that can be tuned from 27Mhz to 200MHz (cutting chart provided).

Ideal for mounting on the side of the hose or on a balcony.

Don't expect a massive range, but if you need something small and discreet then this may be the antenna for you.

Please note: it does not cover all those frequencies, it can only be tuned for a single band within that range!
