Broadband terminated antenna

[NT4I]

Broadband Terminated Inverted Vee or Dipole

This is a home brew antenna that works well covering 160 to 6 meters with a flat or near flat VSWR.
It is overall 220 feet long and fed directly with 50 ohm cable.
The center balun is a 16 to 1 ratio and coming off each side of the balun is 110 feet of wire. At the end of each leg is a 400 terminated load which should go to a ground rod (NOT INCLUDED). Supporting the 110-foot length of wire is an end insulator. Also included with this package is a length of wire to connect both ends of the terminated load together. This wire would lay on the ground, can be buried or not used.
Power handling is approx. 500 watts SSB or CW.
Performance equals or exceeds that of a common dipole on all bands except 160 where it is a db or so down over a full size dipole installed at common heights.
The benefit of using this antenna is not only broadband operation but because it is terminated, the noise is much lower over a dipole and a tuner is not required. It’s installed and used regularly so you are welcome to hear it on the air or come look at the VSWR curve personally or see it up close.
Price is $85 shipped or $75 picked up. I don’t not have any pix’s. If interested or if you want to talk about it, please call me direct at (804) 781-6856, Vince.
