6. VE3DO Antenna
The VE3DO antenna is similar in configuration to the EWE antenna except for the vertical ends of the antenna wire, which
are folded back parallel to the ground to the center of the horizontal part of the antenna where the two end Terminator
U
nits share a single ground rod. The horizontal bottom wires are suspended about 18” above ground level. More
information about the VE3DO antenna is available at the following link:

The Terminal Unit internal jumpers must be configured for VE3DO use. The factory setting is for Beverage and BOG type
antennas. See Table-3, and Figure-19 and Figure-20 for more information about configuring the Termination Units for the
VE3DO antenna.
