Coil-loaded, Limited Space, Super Compact, Mono-band Dipole or Inverted V Antenna
Fully assembled and ready to install; these super compact; fully assembled dipole/inverted V antennas, are the perfect HF antenna for the ham radio operator with a smaller yard! Takes up less space when used as an inverted-V.
The EASY-T is a unique dipole with a compact rugged center-T enclosure, and an in-line choke at the feed-point. A hefty stainless steel Halyard hoist/eye-bolt, located on top of the center T, provides a convenient attachment point for the Service Drop Support Grip, for heavier coax runs.
Stainless eye bolts provide a heavy-duty strain-relief, for reliable and secure joining of the antenna wire(s). Input is a SO-239 coax connector.
This is an exceptional design, made with quality components, and over engineered to provide many years of trouble free service. This dipole system is ruggedly built, and weather resistant/proof for use in permanent installations, and extreme weather conditions. All hardware used in this product is brass/bronze & stainless steel. Heavy duty Dog-bone insulators for each end are built-in to the antenna.

The Limited Space, Super Compact Mono-band Dipole, is a lumped-constant loaded antenna that is intended to fit in available space; rather than requiring a full 1/2 wavelength, at a specific band.
As long as the length is longer than 0.2 wavelengths, it will work well at any height between 30 and 90 ft. These electrically shortened dipole(s) are similar to trap dipoles, except the "traps" are coils only! The performance of most any antenna depends upon many factors, not the least of which is its design; but the overall performance correspondingly depends upon construction consistency, location, height, orientation, terrain, surrounding objects, etc.
Some antenna adjustment and pruning to compensate for these variable circumstances is almost always required. Reduce the available space by 6" to 12" on each end to allow for securing the dipole to its supports. For maximum efficiency, the antenna should be as long as possible, consistent with available space. Shorter lengths will work, but will be less efficient.
Additionally, Duplex Wire Rope Clips allow the antenna wire to be tuned for optimal SWR on the frequency of interest. No trimming required! Simply slip the wire through the clip(s) and tighten the hardware when tuning is complete.
For greatest effectiveness, the largest inductor practical for the band(s) is used, e.g. for an acceptable Q we choose a coil whose length does not exceed twice its diameter.
