Overview

The Füllgraf Stainless Steel Telescopic Whip is a heavy-duty telescopic antenna element for portable, temporary, and custom HF antenna systems.

Manufactured from stainless steel and fitted with a standard 3/8"-24 mounting thread, the whip is compatible with a wide range of amateur radio antenna bases, loading coils, tripods, ground spikes, and portable mounting systems.

Two versions are available: 25ft and 34ft. Despite their considerable extended length, both collapse down to a compact size for transport and storage, making them particularly useful for portable and field operation.

The adjustable telescopic construction allows the radiator length to be altered to suit the required antenna configuration. Depending on the operating frequency, the whip can be used as part of a quarter-wave vertical, loaded vertical, matched portable antenna, or experimental antenna system.

3/8"-24 Compatibility

The standard 3/8"-24 mounting thread makes these whips particularly versatile and allows them to be used with many popular amateur radio mounting systems.

Suitable accessories can include:

Portable antenna bases
Loading coils
Ground spikes
Tripod mounts
Mobile-style 3/8"-24 mounts
Radial systems
Matching units

This also makes the whips particularly well suited to the REZ Antenna Systems range of portable antenna components.

Recommended REZ System Components

For the 25ft Whip

The 25ft version is particularly well suited to the REZ SC-4025 40m Loading Coil, which is designed for use with a 25ft telescopic radiator.

A useful portable system can be built from:

Füllgraf 25ft Telescopic Whip
REZ SC-4025 loading coil
REZ Scout XF mounting base
REZ [Z]QD radial kit
REZ tripod or ground spike
REZ common-mode choke

For the 34ft Whip

The longer 34ft version is ideal for operators wanting additional radiator length without using a loading coil in every installation.

Useful accessories include:

REZ Scout XF mounting base
REZ [Z]QD radial kit
REZ [Z]Pod II tripod
REZ ground spike
REZ 3/8"-24 Multi Mount
REZ common-mode choke

Final tuning and matching requirements will depend on the chosen operating frequency and antenna configuration.

Installation Notes

A suitable 3/8"-24 mounting base is required.

When the whip is used as a vertical antenna, a suitable radial or counterpoise system will normally be beneficial and may be necessary depending on the antenna design.

The required radiator length, loading, and matching arrangement will vary according to the operating frequency. The completed antenna system should therefore be checked and adjusted using an SWR meter or antenna analyser before transmitting.

A common-mode choke may also be useful to help prevent the coaxial feedline from becoming part of the antenna system.

Important Note

This product is a telescopic antenna element and does not by itself form a complete matched antenna.

Depending on your chosen operating frequency and installation, additional equipment may be required, including a suitable mounting base, radials or counterpoise, loading coil, matching unit, Unun, antenna tuner, or common-mode choke.

The REZ SC-4025 is intended specifically for installations using the 25ft whip and should not be assumed to provide the same tuning arrangement when used with the 34ft version.

Mounting base, loading coil, coaxial cable, radials, matching equipment, tripod, ground spike, analyser, and other accessories are not included unless specifically stated.
