Introduction
The DX Engineering
DXE-30VE-1
is a fast taper 24 feet high, 30 meter monoband vertical antenna
system. The vertical antenna operates over the entire 30 meter band with a SWR less than 1.5:1.
There are no traps, coils or linear loading elements to rob power. Designed with 6063 corrosion-
resistant aluminum tubing and stainless steel hardware, this antenna is very durable and attractive.
The antenna may be used as a monoband antenna on a higher frequency by simply telescoping the
tubing inward to a quarter wavelength on the desired band.
