FEATURES
Countless hours of computer optimization, range confirmation and on the air testing have resulted in a truly remarkable antenna. The 6M9KHW is capable of producing moon echoes when pointed at rising or setting moon and running the legal power limit. If you can hear your own moon echoes over a one half million mile path, just think what it could do for your signal on long haul tropo, meteor scatter or just an ordinary E or F2 opening. And for the adventurous, imagine what four would do.
The driven element is a 3/8" diameter tube fed by a 'T' match with adjustable shorting bars. Stainless screws lock the joints together. The "T" match block is CNC-machined and internal connections are sealed with a space-age silicone gel with dielectric strength nearly 4 times greater than air. All three connectors feature 'O' ring seals. The balun cable features double seals; one at the cable and one inside the connector where it mates with the female. This match block configuration was developed at M2 for shipboard ATS satellite use and is now used on all |
