C463 Multiwire Broadband Dipole Antenna
(2–30 MHz)
Introduction
The C463 Multiwire Broadband Dipole Antenna is available in the following
power ratings:
The antenna is designed for fixed station multi-frequency operation. These
instructions apply to all power ratings of this antenna.
There is a glossary of terms at the end of these instructions.
The C463 antenna is suitable for erection in the inverted V or horizontal
configuration. The inverted V configuration requires only one main mast,
however the horizontal configuration is more efficient. For both
configurations, a main mast height of 9 to 10 m is adequate, providing
optimal communications over a short distance (0 to 600 km). Long-distance
communications require a taller main mast of 15 m. The horizontal
configuration is recommended for this distance.
The C463 antenna is packed completely assembled, ready for erection. The
parallel wires of the antenna are raised in the horizontal plane, regardless of
the configuration used. In some instances, the antenna is supplied with a
coaxial cable for use with the installed antenna. If you are supplying your
own coaxial cable, the connectors must be PL259 UHF-style.
