| Description: The DX Engineering THUNDERBOLT™ DXE-80VA-3 is a high performance 80 meter vertical antenna system that is tunable to operate over segments of the entire band with an SWR of 1.5:1 or less, yet is only an optimum 43 feet high! Designed with 6063 corrosion-resistant drawn aluminum tubing and stainless steel hardware, this antenna is very durable and attractive. The massive Extren fiberglass channel insulator supporting the rugged structural grade type 6063-T832 drawn aluminum antenna radiator has over twice the tensile and flexural strength of competitive nylon materials, and is superior for its RF handling characteristics. With excellent surface appearance, 6063 is the best alloy for high strength, long lasting antenna applications. Ruggedly built, it tapers from a sturdy 2.125 inch OD base section to a 1.50 inch top section. The base section is secured to the Extren insulated channel with DX Engineering's heavy duty U-saddle clamps. DX Engineering’s new THUNDERBOLT™ technology has been proven in the hostile, remote environment of Antarctica’s Peter I Island by the outstanding performance by the 3Y0X DXpedition with an amazing 5869 QSOs on 80 meters! The image shown is the original THUNDERBOLT™ design antenna at the Antarctic location, complete with optional DXE-80VA-2AK Top Hat Ice Loading Kit. This antenna features a properly designed top hat, which forces radiation current to be maximized over the entire height of the vertical. This allows you to get full-size 80 meter performance in an antenna only 43 feet high. The DXE-80VA-3 80 meter vertical antenna system includes the antenna element, capacity top hat, mounting plates, Tilt Base, stainless steel hardware and clamps. | |||
