Hy-Gain Vertical AntennasAV-640 Patriot HF 8-Band, No-Radials VerticalHy-Gain’s new AV-640 Patriot HF is the best built, best performing, and best priced multi-band vertical available today. Make full use of your sunspot cycle with the Patriot’s low angle signal. The AV-640 uses quarter wave stubs on 6, 10, 12, and 17 meters and efficient end loading coil and capacity hats on 15, 20, 30, and 40 meters. An effective counterpoise system replaces radials and grounding. Instead of typical lossy can traps, the AV-640 resonators are placed in parallel—not in series. End loading of the lower HF bands allows efficient operation with a manageable antenna height. Maximum Power: 1,500 watts. Overall Height: 25.5 feet.HYG-AV-640................................................$379.95DX-77A 7-Band VerticalThe Hy-Gain DX-77A is an omni-directional, self-supporting, automatic-bandswitching vertical radiator. It operates on the 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 30 and 40 meter Amateur bands. No ground radials are required with the DX-77A. Its design is based on an off-center-fed dipole, sometimes called a “Windom” antenna. High efficiency high-power traps are used to isolate the active sections of the antenna. The DX-77A uses a heavy duty, tiltable mast clamp that accepts masts up to 2 1/8" O.D. The entire antenna can be easily raised and lowered for tuning purposes and for use on recreational vehicles (RVs). The DX-77A’s overall length of 29 feet (8.8 meters) contributes to exceptional bandwidths on 40 and 20 meters. Maximum Power: 750 watts average, 1,500 watts PEP. HYG-DX-77A ...............................................$439.95AV-18HT Hy-Tower 5-Band, 50 Foot VerticalThe AV-18HT Hy-Tower is an omni-directional, self-supporting vertical radiator which operates on 10 through 80 meters. 160 meter operation is possible with the addition of a loading coil.The use of stub decoupling systems allows band switching on 10, 15, 20, 40, and 80meters. The stubs isolate various sections of the vertical antenna so that an electrical 1/4 wavelength (or odd multiple of 1/4 wavelength) exists on all bands. On 20 meters, the 80 meter section acts as a 3/4 wave radiator. The tilting base of the Hy-Tower allows the antenna to be completely assembled on theground before it is raised into position. It is light enough for one person to assemble andfor two people to erect. The Hy-Tower is supplied with stainless steel hardware. MaximumPower: 1 kW AM, 2 kW PEP. Overall Height: 53 feet.The Hy-Tower is drop-shipped via motor freight directly from Hy-Gain to you.

Auto Tuned StealthAntenna (ATSA)ConceptGreat for EMCOMM—Assembleand Deploy in Minutes!Do you live in an area where antennas are not allowed? DX Engineering has designed acomplete antenna system thatallows Amateur Radio operators living under the shadow of HOA-controlled areas to get on theair easily. Even with a short 26 footwire antenna, you can typically beon the air on all bands 40 metersand up. With only 45 feet of wireyou can be on all bands from 80through 10 meters! That’s becausethe unique ATSA MatchBoxx™ module lets you use almost anylength wire—no more "forbidden"lengths as with other end-fed systems.Most small, physically short antennas exhibit narrow bandwidth,limiting your operating frequencyrange on the lower bands to 50 to100 kHz with acceptable SWR. The ATSA's integral auto tuner always delivers the lowestpossible SWR at any operating frequency with no operator adjustments necessary. Justchange bands and the ATSA antenna will follow you!The very low profile Remote Tuning Unit [RTU] is easily hidden, even in small bushes orshrubs. Just “plant” the RTU with supplied spikes and lay out the minimum length radials.The only thing visible is the wire antenna element, which can be made from small diameterwire for a near-zero visual impact. You can further camouflage the RTU with a plastic boulder or other items available at most landscaping stores.The DX Engineering ATSA system is completely self-contained; even the required 12 Vdcpower is carried by the coax. The ATSA will automatically match your coax to the antennaat any HF frequency within seconds. The complete system includes the RTU, stainless steelradial plate and hardware, radial wire, antennas wire, and two insulators. It’s everythingyou will need to get on the air and operating right under their noses.• Automatic bandswitching—tunes for lowest SWR• Handles 200 watts SSB/CW• Connect 12 Vdc power and RF through single coax feedlineDXE-ATSA-1 ATSA Multi-Band HF Antenna System....................................$459.00DXE-SA80-AOK Stealth Antenna 80M Tuning Coil Add-On Kit .........................$49.95
