Key Features
Excellent entry level HF antenna
The Basic Limited Edition series is ideal for those getting started in amateur radio who want a capable HF antenna without overspending on their first setup.
Wide HF coverage
These antennas offer broad frequency coverage across the HF spectrum, making them suitable for operators who want multi band capability from one antenna. A tuner may be required depending on band, installation, and operating conditions.
Great for DX and NVIS
Designed to support both long distance DX contacts and NVIS style communications, the Basic Limited Edition series is well suited to a wide range of operating styles.
Compact and portable
Lightweight construction and simple deployment make these antennas a strong choice for portable operating, temporary installations, field days, camping, and emergency communications.
Flexible installation
The end fed design allows the antenna to be installed in horizontal, vertical, or sloper configurations, helping you adapt to the space and supports available.
5:1 UNUN included
Each model is equipped with a quality 5:1 UNUN for improved impedance matching. This helps transform the higher impedance of an end fed wire closer to 50 ohms, improving efficiency and reducing SWR for better overall performance with modern transceivers.
Weather resistant construction
Built using durable outdoor ready materials, the Basic Limited Edition series is designed to stand up well to regular use in a range of operating environments.
