Next Generation Antennas

Reviews

QST review of the Q-52  5-band, 2- ele Yagi is in the October, 2012 issue.

QST of the Bravo 7K 7-band vertical was previously reviewed in an earlier issue.

 

DXr-3M

3-band Yagi for 20-15-10

8' boom, 2ele on 20 and a single on 15 and 10, with some gain on these two bands. Full size elements, easy to build, 1 feed line, >90mph and >5KW. Use these parts to upgrade to a larger DXr series yagi.

The 2013 International DX Convention in Visalia was excellent. It was at a new location with plenty of room and tall ceilings. We began writing a new brochure containing some of our new products and it was available at this convention. You can download it in PDF here:

DXr-4  4-band Yagi for 20-15-10-6

.

Many requests for the Bravo 84, the 2-band 80/40 meter vertical.

Scheduled for first shipping this month (May, 2013).

 

 

Will be speaking at several clubs and conventions in 2013. The schedule will be posted here.

The subject is the enhanced  "MAPS and Aliens"  begun at Pacificon 2012

Being made easier to set up is the Q51M.

This is a small package, portable, manual band change model of the Q51 5-band dipole. It is an incredible performer.

Perfect for RV's

Next speaking engagement is at P.A.A.R.A on August 2nd.

Two more are pending.

N6BT makes the best antennas; others make comparisons.

  The Bravo Series verticals now have a Patent filed = Patent Pending.

It ended up being called the Bravo 7KR. This is the remote controlled version of the Bravo 7K for 40-30-20 meters. When in 20 meter mode, it can be manually tuned for any higher band 17-15-12-10. Comes complete, just plug in your coax, add 3-conductor control cable and you are on the air. Choose the tri-pod, or base post - whichever you need.

Tom..Hi…  I am finishing your book and I love it. Lots of thought-provoking insight even for someone with long time expertise in antennas, and lots of practical information for anyone interested in hands-on antenna experimenting. I really –again- congratulate you.  You can quote me if you wish !      Santos Rodriguez, EA4AK

Hi Tom,
I have just finished reading your new book Array of Light 3rd edition and wanted to let you know that it is the best book on HF antennas I have ever read after over 41 years in Ham Radio!  I couldn't put it down - easy to read style, informative, told me things I didn't know, confirmed some things I knew and dispelled a few myths along the way. It won't be far from my shack desk from now on.
                                           Thanks again,  73 de Ian F5VKT / G3YBY
