Default QRP / Low Power / Stealth Antennas

This model of antenna is only rated at 150 watts, not 1500 watts.

The standard models are made with the use of 16 gauge insulated wire.
Like all of our Hy Power Antennas we still use all the Hy Quality parts.

We use stainless steel electrical hardware, SO 239 on the center insulator and two end insulators are included.
All antennas are completely assembled and ready to install.

The 40 Meter Off Center Fed Antenna (OCF40Q) is a great multi band antenna. It is a heavy duty QRP/Low Power antenna that uses #14 wire instead of the usual #16 wire used by our other QRP/Low power models.

This antenna uses a 4 to 1 Guanella Current Balun that is rated at 250 watts, all stainless steel hardware and covers the following ham bands: 6, 10, 20 and 40 meters.

The overall length of the antenna is 66 feet, one leg is 23 feet long and the other leg is 43 feet long.

The feed of this antenna is placed 1/3 of the way in from one of the end insulators which would place the balun 23 feet in from the one end.

The 80 Meter Off Center Fed Antenna (OCF80Q) is also a great multi band antenna.
It is a heavey duty QRP/Low Power antenna that uses #14 wire instead of the usual #16 wire used by our other QRP/Low power models.

This antenna also uses a 4 to 1 Guanella Current Balun this is rated at 250 watts, all stainless steel hardware and covers the following ham bands: 6, 10, 12, 17, 20, 40 and 80 meters.

The overall length of the antenna is 134 feet, one leg is 44.5 feet long and the other leg is 88 feet long.

The feed of this antenna is placed 1/3 of the way in from one of the end insulators which would place the the balun 44.5 feet in from the one end.

This is the most highly recommenced antennas to be used for portable QRP and low power operating.

It also works well as a stealth type antenna for the primary station.
