![]() For example, if you were on 40m, your horizontal wire of dipole would need to be over 60' (19m) above ground (this height varies with frequency)!! Additionally, angle of radiation remains low (this means you hear and work DX!!) where as with a horizontal wire you woul need to have substiantial height above ground to achieve the same. ![]() with the VertiGo, you can mount at ground level without the detrimental impact of buildings and trees that you might expect on upper HF and VHF. While ground plane wires are best installed, the visual impact of this antenna (not having any guy ropes) is much less that say a horizontal wire what would need to be elevated and have at least 2 supports. The vertiGo 33V is the best way to maximise your lower HF band DX experience in a small garden. While it operates only as a 2-band antenna if direct fed (21MHz and 7MHz) An auto ATU placed at the base of the antenna (the only place an ATU should ever be) ensures that the antenna remains the only antenna in your system and not the coax too (as it would be if you use a radio-end ATU).īenefits of 33 foot of radiator on 40m through 15m The InnovAntennas VertiGo 33V uses its whole length as a radiator on every band. Traps an coils are 'lossy' and a high % of your valuable Watts are lost as heat within these trap and coil arrangements and hence, not radiated! However, this does not make them effective or efficient radiators. Most are shortened and make use of traps and coils in order to produce an SWR close to being acceptable to a modern transceiver. There are many multi-band vertical options out there. Why choose an InnovAntennas 33' (10m) self-supporting vertical?ī ase Tube is 50mm diameter and tapers to 13mm diameter at the top of the antenna If you are finished with toys and would like a decent, high quality vertical built to last, you have come to the right place! A 33' (10m) vertical of heavy duty construction for use on 5 bands between 40m and 15m
