Broadband Terminated Inverted Vee or
Dipole

This is a home brew antenna that works well
covering 160 to 6 meters with a flat or near
flat VSWR.
It is overall 220 feet long and fed directly
with 50 ohm cable.
The center balun is a 16 to 1 ratio and
coming off each side of the balun is 110 feet
of wire. At the end of each leg is a 400
terminated load which should go to a ground
rod (NOT INCLUDED). Supporting the 110-
foot length of wire is an end insulator. Also
included with this package is a length of wire
to connect both ends of the terminated load
together. This wire would lay on the ground,
can be buried or not used.
Power handling is approx. 500 watts SSB or
CW.
Performance equals or exceeds that of a
common dipole on all bands except 160
where it is a db or so down over a full size
dipole installed at common heights.
The benefit of using this antenna is not only
broadband operation but because it is
terminated, the noise is much lower over a
dipole and a tuner is not required. It’s
installed and used regularly so you are
welcome to hear it on the air or come look at
the VSWR curve personally or see it up close.
Price is $85 shipped or $75 picked up. I
don’t not have any pix’s. If interested or if
you want to talk about it, please call me
