FOR HORIZONTAL ANTENNAS, HEIGHT = MIGHT!!
AERIAL-51 is a new antenna concept for combining extremely lightweight wire antennas with lightweight telescoping
fiberglass poles, enabling rapid deployment of efficient antennas (within minutes) at heights previously unobtainable with a
portable product.
Model 404-UL is an ultra lightweight, asymmetrical dipole for operation on 7 or 8 shortwave bands. It is constructed
using very light, yet strong components. All hardware is stainless steel. The antenna radiator is made from UL-wire / Liv-2Yz
(ultra light armid synthetic fibre and copper strands, Insulated). The antenna comes including 12m coax which despite the low
weight (only 185g) shows only very modest losses (~1dB on 40m, < 2dB on 10m). The ultra lightweight matching unit not only
matches the coax to the antenna, it also provides excellent choking resistance to suppress common mode current.
Its super lightweight makes Model 404-UL ideal for portable use with any of the Spiderbeam telescoping fiberglass
poles (12/18/22/26m), turning your little pistol station into a BIG GUN.
No other portable antenna on the market combines so many bands with such high efficiency and such low weight!
