Vine Antennas RST-LW40 1KW | HF Long Wire Antenna
Vine Antennas RST-LW40 | HF Long Wire Antenna (160 – 6m)
The Vine Antennas RST-LW40 is an end-fed long-wire aerial. It incorporates a 9:1 UNUN at the feed-point enabling them to be fed directly with 50 Ohm coaxial cable. The 9:1 UNUN also removes static noise and provides a DC path to Earth. All are able to handle up to 1KW RF.
The power rating is for intermittent amateur use and not for AM broadcast or constant carrier data modes. For AM broadcast a much higher power BALUN is required. Also, the polyweave wire will not kink and is extremely strong.
LW-40: 40m in length, this will work on all bands from 80m – 6m via an ATU. Big performance from a small footprint.
These antennas give excellent results where space is at a premium. However, please note that due to the varying impedance found on any long wire antenna, the built-in ATU in your average transceiver will not be able to cope with all bands. For full band coverage, you will need an external ATU or possibly some form of capacitive loading system. This can be a simple L or T match.
The LW-40 comes fully assembled and ready to go.
