Dear Friends,
Force 12 is releasing, effective immediately, a new 40 through 10 meter
vertical dipole antenna. In an effort to encourage "hands on"
participation in antenna experimentation, this design is manually tuned
to the selected amateur band of choice. This vertical Sigma series
dipole achieves resonance by the adjustment of the end bars or the
addition of the supplied coils for 40 and 30 meters.
The antenna will be shipped complete with the B-1/S balun. All one will
need is a coax feed line with a PL-259. The VSWR on 17 - 10 is 1.5:1 or
less across the bands, 20 is <1.4:1 (1.2:1 lowest) and 40/30 are matched
to <1.2:1. The coils are simple to adjust on 40 and 30. A tilt base will
be offered in the future as an option. Please remember that this is a
manual band-change, but it doesn't take long. It also "feels nice" to
get your hands on an antenna and do something with it!
The introductory price of the Sigma 40XK is $249.00
FOB Force 12, Inc.
Antenna weight is about 13 pounds
