3-Band 6m 2m Antenna 6m2m24DXW-3C DXing Contesting FM

The biggest 3-Band 6m 2m Antenna 6m2m24DXW-3C with 24 elements. Has three independent connectors: one for the 6m band, another for 2m DXing, and the third for 2m FM vertical polarization. It is good for chasing DXes, contesting, EME, and for FM repeaters or simplex operations in the range 144-146 or 144-148MHz by order. If you have an HF antenna on the tower and just 2m more mast, this antenna is the right choice to expand to three more bands with limited tower space. The 6m part of the antenna is almost identical to 6m6DX even sharing the same boom length.

Antennas-Amplifiers Product Benefits. A Major advance in antenna design.

• F/B and G/T superiority.

All antennas have been calculated using state-of-the-art full 3D EM modeling software including the influence of the boom, bracket, baluns, and connectors. The performance of antennas designed using these techniques is exceptional, far better than antennas designed using the EZNEC program.

• No tuning antennas.

Before dispatch, we assemble and test each antenna’s characteristics. No need to tune any element to get perfect SWR on the intended frequency range. Everything is pre-tuned.

• Easy to set up.

Everything is labeled, just put number to number. Everything is included in the box: Antenna, balun, bracket, and guy rope support if needed. Yours is to assemble and have fun!

• Mechanical properties.

We believe that our antennas are the world’s strongest antennas and are mechanically constructed much better than any antennas from other manufacturers.
