FEATURES
The 2M5WL is designed with the SERIOUS "Weak Signal"
enthusiast in mind. It provides excellent gain for minimum weight and
windload yet is strong enough to survive 100+ mph winds. The modified
folded dipole driven element is also unique as it"s center is a CNC
machined block of aluminum fitted with 'O' ringed connectors and access
cap. After factory assembly, the block is filled with a space age
silicone gel which further seals and increases dielectric breakdown and
arc-over protection. The 3/16" rod elements mount through the boom
on UV stabilized button insulators. All hardware is stainless steel
except for U-bolts. A vertical riser and an overhead Dacron cord guy
system is supplied for boom support. This antenna is widely used in EME
(W5UN"s 48 2M5WL"s and many others) and large Tropo scatter
arrays.
Several optional items are available to provide more gain from your
2M5WL"s. 2 and 4 port power dividers are available for matching
stacks of 2 or 4 antennas. 50 Ohm phasing lines model VHF-50-2M5WL2 and
VHF-50-2M5WL4 can be ordered for phasing 2 or 4 antennas towgether.
"H" frames, OR-2800 and MT-3000 Az and El rotators are also
available as well as Rohn and US towers.
