...Our Rugged 160 Meter sloper...
With summer static and lightning crashes fast approaching, you have even more reason to get one of our "slopers". They are much more immune to static and noise than other antennas.
Our best selling antenna is our 160 meter, ruggedized version of our popular "half-sloper". We have been building these antennas for over 12 years. They work and work well.
It's features heavy, 14 awg insulated wire, a built-in SO239 connector and a solid cover over the coil. Ideal for 100-200 watt radios, this antenna solves the problems of working "top-band" and eliminates the need for a tuner. Trimmed to resonance at your favorite spot in the band this antenna offers omni-directional performance with minimum effort.
This antenna is our best seller! Get one today!!!
We start with a tightly wound 14 awg insulated wire coil
This is the finished antenna, ready to be hung on your tower.
The radiator wire will be left several feet long to allow you to "prune" it to the length that tunes it to the exact spot in the band that you need. Once tuned near the center of the band at your location the antenna will cover the entire band without any retuning or tinkering. Note: this antenna can withstand quite a bit of power but we have NOT tested it above 200 watts. We don't build "high-power" antennas. We build antennas that give you that extra performance.
This antenna ships 75' in length and will be trimmed back to 68' or so on installation. It works best when attached to your tower at about the 45-50' level. This allows the wire to be angled down to the ground at a comfortable angle (somewhere near 45 degrees) and attached to a suitable support 8 or 9 feet off the ground ( to keep someone from touching it while you are transmitting) 60' or so away from your tower.
We have had one of these on our tower for 12
years with no problems
We have made several improvements to the design over the years. The one
shown here is a very early production model. (12 years in use...)
