Hy-Gain VHF Vertical Antennas

Hy-Gain VHF Ground Planes

Oscar Link 435 MHz• 145.9 MHz

VHF/UHF DX Beam Antennas

Hy-Gain’s DXSeries VHF/UHF Beams are based on the DL6WU element length and

spacing and were further refined

on Hy-Gain’s antenna test range and by computer modeling. Both beams feature encapsulated weath-

erproof feedpoints with type N connectors for excellent VSWR and power handling.

High quality mechanical construction is assured by heavy wall booms and boom supports made of 6063-T832 aluminum tubing, stainless steel hardware, UV stabilized thick-shoulder element insulators and PTFE coaxial baluns.

2 Meter vertical with 5.2 dBi gain

derived from the famous extended double zepp antenna design. Radiating elements are two collinear 5/8waves fed in phase. 2 sets of

/4wave radials properly decouple lower radiator from the mast. SO-239, handles 500 Watts. 9 ft.

17 & 160 Meters optional

Standing 53 feet tall, the famous Hy-

Gain HyTower is the world’s best performing vertical! The AV-18HT features automatic band selection achieved through a unique stub-decoupling system which effectively isolates various sections of the antenna so that an electrical 1/4 wavelength (or odd multiple of a 1/4 wavelength) exists on all bands. Approximately 250 kHz bandwidth at 2:1 VSWR on 80 Meters. With the addition of a base loading coil LC-160Q or MK160A, it also provides exceptional 160 Meter performance. The 24 foot tower is all rugged, hot-dip galvanized steel and all hardware is iridited for corrosion resistance. Special tilt-over hinged base for easy raising and lowering. 53 feet, 114 lbs.

Roof Mounting Kit

The AV-14RMQ roof mounting kit provides rugged support for Hy-gain models AV-18VS, AV-14AVQ and AV12AVQ. Kit includes base plate, mast, radial/guy wires and mounting hardware.

HF VERTICALS

All hy-gain multi-band vertical antennas are entirely self supporting -- no guys

required. They offer remarkable DX performance with their extremely low angle of radiation and omnidirectional pattern.

All hy-gain vertical antennas handle 1500 Watts PEP SSB, have low SWR, automatic band-switching (except AV-18VS) and include a 12-inch heavy duty mast support bracket (except AV-18HT). Heavy duty, slotted, tapered swaged, aircraft quality aluminum tubing with full circumference compression clamps is used for radiators. Includes all stainless steel hardware. Recessed SO-239 prevents moisture damage.

Hy-gain verticals go up easily with just hand tools and their cost is surprisingly low. All hy-gain Verticals feature a two year limited warranty.

Multi-Band PATRIOT Vertical Antennas

hy-gain’s new PATRIOT HF verticals are the best built, best performing and best priced multiband verticals available today.

Make full use of your sunspot cycle with the PATRIOT’s low angle signal.

AV-640, $389.95, uses quarter wave stubs on 6, 10, 12 and 17 meters and efficient end loading coil and capacity hats on 15, 20, 30 and 40 meters.

Instead of typical traps, the AV-640 resonators are placed in parallel not in series.

End loading of the lower HF bands allows efficient operation with a manageable antenna height.

No ground or radials needed -- Effective counterpoise replaces radials, end fed with broadband matching unit.

Automatic bandswitching -- Single coax cable feed, each band is individually tunable, wide VSWR bandwidth.

Sleek and low-profile -- Low wind surface area, small area required for mounting, mounts easily on decks, roofs and patios.

Built-to-last -- High wind survival, matching unit made from all Teflon

insulat-

ed wire. Hy-gain

warranty -- 2- year limited warranty, replacement parts in stock.

AV-620, $289.95. Covers all bands 6 through 20 Meters with no traps, no coils,

no radials yielding an uncompromised signal across all bands.

Standing a tall 39 feet with full-size elements

and rated at 5 KW, the AV-18JR Hy-gain

HyTower-Jr.TMis the world’s second best* per-

forming vertical!

Stub-decoupling is used to give full-size quarter wave radiators on 40, 20, 15, 10 Meters with super efficient cage loading on 80 Meters.

The HyTower-JrTMhas almost no losses --

your ground system determines your efficiency.

It is automatic bandswitching, fed with 50 Ohm coax and has low SWR over an exceptionally wide bandwidth with SWR less than 1.2 at resonance.

The main radiator is aircraft high-strength, heavy walled, 2-inch aluminum tubing swedged at the top. Self-supporting in winds up to 40 MPH. Mounts on 11/4 inch plumber’s pipe. Heavy duty components will give you years of trouble-free operating pleasure.

Requires good ground system for optimum performance. UPS Shippable.

*The famous 53 foot Hy-gain HyTower

is legendary. It’s

the premier, best performing vertical in the world -- bar none!

At less than half the price with nearly the same performance and based on the same principles, the HyTowerJrTMis the poor man’s version of its father HyTower.

Of course, JuniorTMdoesn’t have its father’s rugged hot- dipped galvanized steel tower and construction!
