requirements
This antenna provides instantaneous coverage of the whole HF band,
APPLICATIONS: the fixed tuning network ensures immediate availability and excellent
 HF communications reliability. No ATU or DC power is required. The vertical whips have low
 HF monitoring a take-off angle good for long range communication.

The use of 2 whips is recommended as this gives approximately 4 dB

more gain below 10 MHz. The single-whip version also performs well,
with reduced weight and wind resistance if this is required.
