LW-10-DX HF 40 -6m Multi-band Long Wire Antenna / Aerial
MCR COMMUNICATIONS LW-10-DX Long wire Antenna
The LW-10-DX are end fed long wire aerials. They all incorporate
a 9:1 UNUN at the feed point enabling them to be fed directly with50
Ohm coaxial cable.
I have also fitted a earthing tag and eyelet to the box there is no
requirement to to fit anything to this but if like to earth or fit a
counterpoise please do so.
The 9:1 UNUN also removes static noise and provides a DC path to earth. All are able to handle up to 400W RF (full UK limit).
LW-10-DX is 10m in length, this will work on all bands from 40m - 6m via an ATU. Big performance from a small foot print.
These antennas give excellent results where space is at a premium.
However, please note that due to the varying impedance found on any long wire antenna,
the built in ATU in your average transceiver will not be able to cope with all bands.
For full band coverage you will need an external ATU or possible
some form of capacitive loading system. This can be a simple Lor T
match.
The LW-10-DX comes fully assembled and ready to go.
Also the poly weave wire will not kink and is extremely strong.
As with all or long wire antennas we fit an earthing terminal on the
box so you can earth or a counterpoise to the antenna if you req but you don't have to to.
