12 Meter Dipole Antenna, Inverted V
This is a 12 meter, conventional, center-fed, half-wave dipole antenna. Unlike other antennas, this one has direct connections to the antenna wire to avoid "scratchiness" in the receiver from antenna movement in the wind. The antenna is smooth with no sharp edges that radiate harmonics. The RF connector is the standard SO-239 for use with standard 52-75 ohm coaxial feedlines. Included are two end insulators for quick installation. The dipole antenna does not need a center support. However, a top eye bolt is included for center mounting in an inverted V configuration. The side eye bolts allow for a variety of antenna mounting angles without wire pinching. The side eye bolts also allow for the connection of additional wire legs to support multband antenna designs. The center section is sealed and weather-proof. All joints are soldered.
The default length of the antenna is 19 ft. for the lower portion of the band (24.89 mhz.). It can then be shortened in the field to move up the band. If you would like a specific resonant frequency I can do that for no extra charge.
