Congratulations on obtaining your DX Engineering 

DXE-7580FS-VA-2

 Full size 75/80 Meter 

Quarter-Wave Vertical Antenna. With this antenna you will 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 to achieve the strongest possible presence at your power 
level and be competitive. 
 
A FULL SIZE quarter-wave high-performance antenna that provides all the important design 
details. 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 the antenna can easily be 
lowered with the supplied Heavy Duty Plus Stainless 

(US Patent 8, 130,168)

 Pivot Base with the 

optional hand winch.  
 
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-2

 is a slow taper 68 foot high vertical antenna system. The 

vertical antenna 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, stainless steel mounting brackets and 
stainless steel hardware, this antenna is very durable and attractive.
