FEATURES
The 2M8WLHD is a step above the original 2M8WL. It provides the user
with not just improvements in gain and front to back ratio but also
features a robust boom design, making the antenna capable of handling
winds over 100 MPH. The 2M8WLHD features the same highly reliable, CNC
machined, driven element components used on our other VHF and UHF yagis.
The boom tapers from 2.5" in the 23 foot middle section to
1.5" at the rear and front. It is top guyed with dacron cord. A
single 2M8WLHD provides the gain requirement to make EME contacts with
even small 4 yagi stations. It passes the echo test by producing its own
audible echoes even when pointed up with no ground gain! Obviously it is
dynamite on Tropo! There's absolutely nothing else like it. packs in a
5ft. long box that the airlines don't seem to mind. Whether you are
taking a trip or using it at home, you"ll be impressed!
