MyDEL Wimo 20m Monoband Dipole (11390.20)

Classic fullsize monoband dipoles (Λ/2), still the simplest and most effective design for a shortwave antenna. Depending on height above ground such a dipole either works a a radiator with a strong upwards component (low height, good for local traffic, NVIS) or a a radiator with low take off angle (at least Λ/2 above ground, good for DX).

The 20m monoband dipole is made from flexible steel braid, which is coated with a transparent plastic cover. The wires are connected with stainless steel clamps, the ends are equipped with insulators. The balun in the center is a 1:1 current balun type, which handles a maximum power of 1000W (SB, CW). The connector for the 50 Ω ciaxial cable is SO239 (PL) type. The length of the wires is long enough to be tuned for the lower (CW) part of the bands. By shortening the wires the SWR minimum can be shifted to the required position within the band.
