Pacific Antenna 20 and 40M Lightweight Dipole Kit
Diagram showing configuration and approximate lengths
Description
The Pacific Antenna lightweight dual band, trap dipole kit provides operation on both 20 and 40M bands.
Two capacitors in series serve to resonate the trap coil and isolate the inner part of the antenna for 20M operation.
On 40M, the traps act as loading coils and shorten the overall length of the dipole
Total length is approximately 50 ft rather than the 66ft of a full size 40M dipole.
The dipole weighs less than 5 ounces and can be used at RF power levels up to 100W.
