The EFT60 Antenna is an easy to handle end-fed dipole for 60/40/30/20/10m not requiring a
tuner. Build as a lambda/2 antenna no counterpoise or radials are needed.
Mounting:
With proper mounting no antenna tuner should be required. The use of a counterpose or radi-
als is not neccessary.
The V.S.W.R. values can vary, based on the enviroment. The length of 17.9m/59ft is ideal for
cramped places, compared to other antennas for these bands.
Please use guy ropes for mounting.
Tuning:
The antenna is delivered resonant. The resonant frequency is at the beginning of each band
and the tuning was done as an Inverted-V with an 10m glass-fibre mast. Normally there should
be no tuning required. However, based on influences of the enviroment, a small adjustment may
be needed.
