Description: SUPER ALL BAND SHORTWAVE DIPOLE ANTENNAMade by Hand with All American Parts!MADE AND SOLD BY A HAM RADIO OPERATOR WITH OVER 50 YEARS OF ANTENNA BUILDING EXPERIENCE!YOU CAN BUY CHEAPER, BUT YOU CAN'T BUY BETTER!BE AWARE OF OTHER ANTENNAS SOLD HERE ON EBAY! MANY USE CHEAP CHINESE PARTS!!Up for bid is the new, All Band Shortwave Wave Dipole Antenna. Adapted for the common Shortwave Listener, by one of the most trusted names on Ebay, "Lowbander," this antenna has been cut, tuned and tested, by an experienced ham radio operator with OVER 50 years experience. This DXCC Honor Roll Member, with an FCC Amateur Extra Class License, knows DX and antennas! Lowbander now brings another proven performer to the shortwave listeners of the world!The All Band SW Dipole is still the easiest and most reliable antenna for SWLs. It gives the best overall performance for an SWL to use!!! ALL JOINTS ARE SOLDERED FOR YEARS OF RELIABLE SERVICE! This antenna is tuned for use on the SWL bands, not ham bands. Hams should not buy this unless they know how to tune & prune a dipole! Using a simple but proven design, a full size All Band Dipole, one that ham radio ops have used for decades, this antenna is designed and handcrafted for use on all the shortwave bands, and operates very effectively on frequencies from the MW broadcast band all the way up to 30 MHZ!!. It is rugged and should be able to withstand just about any weather extreme. Made of pure, 14 gauge, stranded insulated copper wire(color of insulation may vary), it was cut and tuned to be resonant on 41Meters, which means over 66 feet of capture area to pull in those weak signals from the sky. No lossey baluns or line transformers are needed with this antenna! Since the antenna is resonant , or a perfect 1:1 SWR on approximately in 41 Meter band , the antenna is a perfect match for the 50 feet of quality coax included in the auction. The coax is terminated with a communication standard pl-259 plug on the end. It has been tested on the MFJ-259B Antenna Analyzer for resonance. The Super Shortwave Dipole will show clear directivity and receive best at right angles off the line of the antenna. In other words, it will receive best broadside to the antenna. From 10 MHZ on up, the antenna will operate as a Full wavelength antenna and will show signs of directivity at angles off the ends of the antenna, somewhat like a true longwire antenna. All the buyer has to do is stretch it out and connect the coax feedline to the radio. All connections have been carefully soldered and the center insulator has been weather proofed for years of reliable service! The rugged design and hardware are not going to break or blow down in the wind under normal operating conditions. Heavy, zinc coated steel hardware is used throughout the construction. There is even a hook or eye bolt on top of the center insulator to support the antenna in the middle if it is used as a sloper or inverted-Vee configuration! The new Super Dipole Shortwave Antenna will work with almost any radio in almost any situation! Sony, Realistic DX-394, and other Radio Shack radios, Sangean, Drake, Icom or Grundig, it really doesn’t matter, because all these great brands of radios work equally well with the Super Dipole. The coax comes with a communications standard PL-259 coax plug. Adapter plugs to fit other sockets are available at , Universal Radio, or about any electronics store and are the buyer's responsibility. Make sure you understand this. The Super Dipole Shortwave Antenna can be configured in dozens of ways and can be deployed to fit the unique situation at your home location. A few tips on installation will be sent PDF format emailed to buyers at the end of the auction, but it is really a "No-Brainer", a true “Plug and Play!” Attach some nylon rope or wire on the end insulators and stretch it out between two supports. The old antenna adage "Install as High as Possible" applies for best performance, but adaptations for your unique situation is a common practice. Hams have even been known to bend the ends of a dipole to get it to fit their yard or supports with very little deterioration of performance. READ WHAT A RECENT BUYER SAID ABOUT MY ANTENNA: "New message from: jdully508 (106) Ebay does not give you much space to write a review. I strung your antenna up alongside two others, fully extended and about 20' up on a 780' hill with no high rise buildings anywhere around.in a N.to SE. direction.I also ran a brand new MFJ-1778M G5RV junior 52' with 450 ohm ladder line feed. In addition next to yours and the mfj a 45' Eavesdropper dipole with traps. All the feed ins had a pl-259 so I could swap them out to my portable receivers through an mfj antenna tuner. I used a Grundig G-3.Sony 7600GR and an Eaton E-1.They a had about 4' between them in the trees in front of the little wood cabin,I busted humps putting them up and removing them about 5 days later but I think is was a very fair test to compare them.Your antenna had huge capture range in the S/W freq.and did a great job with SSB even better than the mfj junior, but was quieter, even with mfj 450 ohm ladder line feed and had a much stronger signal.I tuned to Vietnam in English at 6125 then tested all three antennas on the same radio/same freq and your ant once again was the clear winner on all bases,signal strength,clarity and quietness. Thunderstorms came a few times and I could hear them 20-30 miles away and disconnected all from the receivers.You put a lot into creating that antenna and you can hear it. One suggestion maybe SO-235 female on the bottom of the balun,so you can use shorter or alternative type of feed line to that antenna.Yours will be my main travel antenna thanks." SUPER EASY TO INSTALL! SUPER PERFORMANCE! FYI: ANTENNAS PURCHASED AFTER NOON ON FRIDAY WILL SHIP OUT THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, MONDAY MORNING. You can count on anything sold by Lowbander to be quality!
