2m Lightweight EME Expedition XPOL Antenna 2mXPOL24DXAPL 24Elements

Super Low Noise 2m Lightweight EME Expedition XPOL Antenna 2mXPOL24DXAPL with 12 + 12 elements. Intended for DX and EME expeditions. Instead of using 8mm pipes, this antenna uses thin 4mm rods. The lightweight boom with lightweight elements will ensure easy manipulation on distant locations. The disassembled length is just 118 cm. Perfectly fits in an Airplane “Checked Baggage” compartment or a car seat. Perfect for temporary work in VHF contests or EME.

With the polarization switch easy to change Horizontal, Vertical RHCP, or LHCP polarization.
