| Construction |
- 2 masts
- 2 x ¼ λ antenna elements connected via a CJD
|
| Use |
Static, HF skywave working |
| Range |
0-3000Km dependent upon antenna height |
| Polarity |
Horizontal |
| Radiation Pattern |
Omnidirectional up to 300Km, broadside on after that |
| Propagation |
Skywave |
| Advantages |
An efficient skywave antenna that can be remoted from the set. Good receive antenna on skywave |
| Disadvantages |
Occupies a large area. Narrow bandwidth so requires changing for each frequency in use (antenna must be within 3% of required length for maximum efficiency |
