Introduction
Congratulations on obtaining your DX Engineering
DXE-7580FS-VA-3
Full size 75/80 Meter
Quarter-Wave Vertical Antenna! Now you can have a high-performance vertical antenna
specifically for the 75/80 meter bands! The DX Engineering 68 foot vertical antenna supplies the
highest possible performance. Achieve the strongest possible presence at your power level and be
competitive!
The DX Engineering
DXE-7580FS-VA3
is a FULL SIZE quarter-wave high-performance antenna
that provides all the important design details for a high performance vertical antenna. The thick-wall
6061 sections provide you with a very stout antenna that can stay up with no guying necessary and
no worry on your part. When expecting a big storm or high winds, the antenna can easily be
lowered with the supplied Heavy Duty+ Stainless Tilt Base with the optional hand winch.
The DX Engineering
DXE-7580FS-VA3
provides a 2:1 SWR Bandwidth of 466 to 557 kHz
depending on your radial field. Your internal tuner can get SWR down to 1:1 on any DXing
Frequency for maximum power transfer.
The DX Engineering
DXE-7580FS-VA-3
is specifically designed to operate on 75/80 meters.
Included with this antenna system is a rugged heavy duty stainless steel pivot fixture for ease of
assembly and adjustments. Engineered with 6063 corrosion-resistant aluminum tubing, thick
stainless steel mounting brackets and stainless steel hardware, this antenna is very durable and
attractive.
