    Description

    43' HF Antenna, base plate for radials and 4-1 Balun. You can have the base pipe, if you want to dig it up.  This antenna has been used for over 10 years for DX and MARS frequencies.. Used with icom and Yaesu FT-891 radios on HF with tuner.  I'm getting out of ham radio.
    Local pickup only.
    All Band Antenna?
    Is this an all HF band antenna? Well, because it operates at no particular “tuned” length for any HF band, except maybe 60 meters, you will always need a tuner. So, sure, it can tune up anywhere the tuner (or matcher if you prefer) can match. If you have to have just one antenna for HF, maybe this is a good choice, especially during the current great low band conditions in this low sunspot point in time.
    A better reason to consider this antenna is for reasonable 80-20 meter use and as a practical thing to try for the 160 meter band. Because you can tune almost anything to almost any band, it is possible to get 10 and 15 meter use too with the propagation issues described above.
    Other advantages for this 43 foot antenna is expense. You can have one for a few hundred dollars and several major antenna manufacturers, noted above, make them. The variables between the manufacturers is likely strength in materials and other mechanical design issues. Look to Eham for evaluations.
