2 meter 28 elements superior G/T EME XPOL antenna 2m28XPOL
Extreme gain for super weak EME – Q65 MAP65 signals on 144 MHz band. Highest possible suppression of all side lobes and the best G/T for antenna length.
100 W with this 2 meter XPOL antenna is enough to work many EME stations

One of the best performing antennas on the table for its sizes.
PA144-XPOL-28-9BGP – 2m28XPOL Antenna, measured characteristics with calibrated HP8753ES Network Analyzer.
Measured S11 144 – 145 MHz at antenna connector:
Measured SWR 144 – 145 MHz at antenna connector:
One of the most important parameter in the “X” or “+” configuration of antennas is coupling.
We have measured it on this 2m28XPOL. Just excellent:
Better than -35 dB in the prime part of 2m band. Which is more than sufficient for any purpose.
We consider that mechanical construction is even more important than electrical parameters. That will lead to many years of trouble free operation.
