Hy-Gain DX-77A

The "DX-77-A" is an omnidirectional, self-supporting, automatic-bandswitching vertical radiator which operates on the 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 30 and 40 meter Amateur bands. No ground radials are used with the DX-77-A. The DX-77-A design is based upon an off-center-fed dipole, sometimes called a "Windom" antenna. Highefficiency high-power traps are used to isolate the active sections of this antenna.

The DX-77-A uses a heavy-duty tiltable mast clamp which will accept masts of up to 2 118" inches O.D. The entire antenna may be easily raised and lowered for tuning purposes and for recreational - vehicle (RV) installations. The DX-77-A also features an overall length of 29 feet (8.8 m), which contributes to exceptional bandwidths on 40 and 20 meters.
