Innovative Design by Chelegance. The MC-599 is a testament to Chelegance’s commitment to quality and innovation. This portable shortwave dipole V antenna is expertly crafted to operate across a wide frequency range of 7-50MHz, with an impressive power capacity of 200 watts PEP.
 
Does not include tripod.

 

2 minutes Installation. The MC-599 is a very simple structure with only 5 parts, making it very easy and quick to assemble.

 

 

14-50MHz Marking System for Effortless Tuning. Continuing the legacy of our acclaimed MC-750 antenna, the MC-599 incorporates a similar, user-friendly marking system on both telescopic whips. This innovative feature simplifies the tuning process significantly. Just align the markings to the corresponding position for your desired band, and you’re set for a smooth and efficient operation. This hassle-free adjustment ensures that you can focus more on your communication experience and less on the setup.

 

 

7MHz High-Quality Wire Elements for Optimal Performance. The MC-599 is specially equipped with premium wire elements for the 7MHz band, ensuring top-notch performance. These wire elements are designed to be easily configured into an inverted V antenna, providing exceptional reception and transmission capabilities. The setup is straightforward – simply extend the wire elements and secure them at the top using the telescope whips. This design not only optimizes the antenna’s functionality at 7MHz but also ensures a stable and reliable operation, making it an ideal choice for amateur radio enthusiasts who demand quality and efficiency.

 

 

           

 

Broadband Operation for Versatile Use: The MC-599 is ingeniously designed to offer a wide operational range within each working frequency band, a feature that sets it apart in the realm of amateur radio antennas. This design means you can enjoy extensive coverage without the hassle of constantly adjusting the antenna length for different frequencies. For instance, if you set the antenna to operate at 14MHz, the MC-599 will efficiently cover the entire 20-meter amateur band. This capability not only enhances the ease of use but also ensures consistent performance across a broad spectrum of frequencies, making the MC-599 a highly versatile and reliable choice for radio enthusiasts.

 

Exceptional Portability for On-the-Go Operations: The MC-599 redefines portability in amateur radio equipment. With its compact dimensions of just 57.5 x 11 x 7.5 cm and a lightweight design at only 1.43 kg, it’s the epitome of convenience. This antenna is perfect for radio enthusiasts who are always on the move. Whether you’re heading out for a Parks on the Air (POTA) adventure or a Summits on the Air (SOTA) expedition, the MC-599 is your ideal travel companion. It’s easy to carry, quick to set up, and ensures that you’re always ready to connect, no matter where your journey takes you.

 

*Please note:

Be sure to pull up the GUY LINE ROPES to prevent the antenna from tipping over and damaging the whips, or more dangerously, causing a safety accident.
