ANTENNA

The Foundation of COMMS

COMMUNICATIONS

Long-Distance Communication

HF antennas enable contact across continents by utilizing High Frequency bands i.e. 0-30Mhz

Signal Clarity

A well-tuned HF antenna ensures better signal quality and less interference. Radio signals can be 2way: both receive or transmit. But one at a time

Signal Clarity

Contacts with Ham operators around the globe made, even when wave propagations are not favorable

TX-RX LINK

They're responsible for both transmitting and receiving signals, making them the critical link between you and the rest of the world.

WAVE CARRIER

Efficiently converts electrical signals from the radio to electromagnetic waves that can travel long distances.

HIGH SWR

Inefficient antennae leads to weak signals, and limited range, creating power losses. These are reflected back to radio as high SWR.

Emergency

HF antennas provide critical comms during disasters when other systems fail.

Right Choice

Various category suiting to frequency, terrain are used. Optimizing antenna length & deployment can make all the difference to radio comm experience.
