BBA - 1KD HF ANTENNA
HF BROADBAND MULTIWIRE ANTENNA
Product Brief
Our flagship model and all-round best
performer to date is the BBA series of
antennas.
These antennas are highly efficient, and
engineered to meet the exacting standards
of professional users. Frequency range is
specified according to useful gain (not only
VSWR), and all components are validated
for rated power.
The Bushcomm BBA has the flexibility to
suit a wide range of installation situations -
between two purpose built towers at a
professional site, in an inverted “V”
configuration, or even between a tree and
the back shed.
Light yet sturdy construction ensures low
total mass wind loading. The highest quality
materials are used in construction, such as
stainless steel wire and fittings, and UV
resistant fibreglass rods, to produce an
antenna that will survive the rigours of the
outdoors for many years.
There are many variants in the BBA family
with sizes and power ratings to suit a wide
range of applications.
