DualBand 6m 2m DX Antenna 6m2m16DX-2C for DXing and Contests

The biggest DualBand 6m 2m Antenna 6m2m16DX-2C with two independent connectors: one for the 6 m band and the other for the 2m band. It is good for chasing DXes and contesting. Even EME is possible on both bands, 50 MHz and 144 MHz. If you have an HF antenna on the tower and just 2m more mast, this antenna is the right choice to expand to two 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 a 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.
