The 

DXE-30VE-1

 vertical antenna system includes the antenna elements, stainless steel clamps, 

mounting plate assembly, and stainless steel hardware. 

 

Full band coverage on 30 meters with SWR under 1.5:1 - No Tuner needed 

 

24 feet overall height 

 

Fast Taper from rugged base to sleek top for low wind resistance 

 

No Coils or Traps - Maximum Radiation Efficiency 

 

Power Handling up to 5 kW - built to last 

 

Perfect for Four Square or Phased Array systems 

 

Easily shortened for resonance on higher bands 

 
 

WARNING! 

 

INSTALLATION OF ANY ANTENNA NEAR POWER LINES IS DANGEROUS 

 
 
 
 
 
 

Warning

:

 Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power 

circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits.  When installing the antenna, take 
extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, because they may cause serious injury or 
death.  
 

Overhead Power Line Safety 

Before you begin working, check carefully for overhead power lines in the area you will be 
working.  Don't assume that wires are telephone or cable lines: check with your electric utility for 
advice. 
 
Although overhead power lines may appear to be insulated, often these coverings are intended only 
to protect metal wires from weather conditions and may not protect you from electric shock 
 
Keep your distance! Remember the 10-foot rule:  When carrying and using ladders and other long 
tools, keep them at least 10 feet away from all overhead lines - including any lines from the power 
pole to your home. 
 

 

Tools Required 

Two 7/16 wrenches, (one of them should be open-end)  
Medium size standard screwdriver or 5/16 nut driver for the element clamps 
3/16 and 1/4 nut drivers or wrenches 
Tape measure and Felt-tip marker. 
Antenna analyzer.  The MFJ-259B is a suggested unit to facilitate the fine tuning of the vertical 
antenna system.
