ALPHA-DELTA - DX-SWL/S - SLOPER ANTENNA (SHORT) FOR SWL BANDS - 13-16-18-19-21-25-31-41-49-90 METERS - CAN BE USED ALSO ON 120 METERS AND MEDIUM WAVES WITH REDUCED PERFORMANCE
IT CAN BE USED AS A TRANSMIT ANTENNA ON ALL HAM BANDS FROM 80 TO 10METERS WITH THE HELP OF A WIDE RANGE TUNER.
DEPENDING ON INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING, IT COULD BE TUNED ALSO ON 160 METERS.
TOTAL LENGHT DX-SWL/S: m. 13,5 (slightly over 40 feet)
The Alpha Delta DX-SWL/s Sloper antenna offers exceptional features and performance! Hams have been using slopers for years because slopers offer some unique advantages not found in other antennas. Sloper (or slant) antennas require only one elevated support (25 feet (7.6 meters) or higher) while dipoles require two elevated supports. The DX-SWL/s Sloper offers coverage of the 90 and 120 meter bands, bands often "forgotten" by other antennas plus medium wave (AM) too!
The DX-SWL/s covers:
Medium Wave .5-1.6 MHz (reduced performance when compared to longer version)
120 Meters 2.3-2.5 MHz (reduced performance when compared to longer version)
90 Meters 3.2-3.5 MHz
60 Meters 4.7-5.0 MHz
49 Meters 5.9-6.2 MHz
41 Meters 7.1-7.3 MHz
31 Meters 9.5-9.9 MHz
25 Meters 11.6-12 MHz
21 Meters 13.6-13.8 MHz
19 Meters 15.1-15.6 MHz
16 Meters 17.5-17.9 MHz
13 Meters 21.4-21.8 MHz
The overall length of the slope wire is only slightly over 40 feet long. A single 50 ohm feed point (for PL259) at the apex of the antenna is provided for maximum DX reception. (User supplies his own 50 ohm coaxial lead-in). The DX-SWL is fully assembled for easy installation. It requires no adjustments or "trimming". This American made antenna has stainless steel hardware for long life and utilizes low-Q RF choke-resonators for efficient multi-band frequency selection. For quality of construction, ease of erection and maximum performance, we think the Alpha-Delta DX-SWL is a great value. It is a very popular popular shortwave antenna.
Where more space is available, consider the Alpha Delta DX-SWL, longer version, 60 feet (18,29 meters) long covering the MEDIUM WAVES through 13 meter bands with better performance.
