The MA160V is a compact efficient vertical especially designed for working top-band DX from an average-size house lot. A low launch angle and deep overhead null combine to pull in distant stations while rejecting local QRM. The MA160V features a heavy-duty high-Q copper loading coil plus a wide 100-inch diameter stainless capacitive hat for high efficiency, resiliency and 1500-Watt power handling. An adjustable stinger provides coverage on any 40-kHz segment across the 1.8 - 2.0MHz band. Weighing only 12-pounds, the MA160V and vegetation. Each antenna comes with a 400-foot spool of ground-radial wire plus a Danscord insulated guying kit.
