Description: PAR has reintroduced a new model of the OA-28 as the OA-28B. With higher power handling and wider bandwidth, the OA-28B is a true horizontally polarized 10M omni antenna that takes advantage of ground gain that verticals do not have access to and is quieter than verticals.
Weight is only 2.5 pounds and size is roughly rectangular at 86" X 46".
The manual is available at:

Quality Built Antenna
|
Time owned: 3 to 6 months
|
I have used Par Electronics antennas for many years now and this is by far the best built and designed antenna for 10 meters I have ever seem. It's a snap to build and of course the instructions are well written in plain English. Talk about performance, the SWR was absolutely flat at 28.4 mhz. Reports all over the US Europe and South America are 5x9. If space is a problem or portable operation on 10 is what you have in mind, this is the Antenna to get.

Great 10 Meter antenna !
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

I saw that PAR is again making a 10M horizontal omnidirectional antenna. The antenna arrived quickly and was a snap to put together. One thing that stands out is the fit and finish. All parts have a machined jitterbugged surface while the aluminum tubes are polished- a nice comment on the dedication to producing not only a nice antenna electrically but also pride in the product. Tuning is accomplished by sliding the 5/16" side tubes into and out of precision milled holes- no tools are required. My 2:1 bandwidth looks pretty much like the manual's plot. Overall I am extremely pleased to own another of PAR's products.
