High performance HF 5Band WARC Antenna 5B11HD
Heavy duty construction 5band antenna covers 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m and 10m bands with central wide spaced elements that can fit in antenna towers up to 0.7m wide. Good for antenna stacks.
What 5B11HD mean?
5B – Covers 5 bands 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m and 10m
11 – Elements
HD – Heavy Duty construction.
Antennas-Amplifiers Product Benefits. A Major advance in Amateur Radio antenna design.
- F/B and G/T superiority.
- No tuning antennas
Before dispatch, we assemble each antenna and test antenna characteristics. That means you may expect exceptionally good electrical and mechanical characteristics including low SWR across the designed range immediately after assembling.
No need to move dipole, cut or tune any element to get perfect SWR on intended frequency range. Everything is pre tuned. Even Stainless Steel supporting ropes are pretuned.
That lead also to another very important detail. When assemble and test each antenna is complete with all washers, nuts, bolts guy rope supports etc.
When packing all parts are already on antenna without possibilities to “forget” important parts to put in the box. So you will always receive complete antenna what we tested just before dispatching.
- Designs that work well in all weather conditions
- Low SWR and superior F/B and F/S ratios across the entire bands
- Excellent mechanical properties
- High durability, built without compromise

Tony –
Built to last it is heavy but i will never have to replace it ,its truly a life time antenna ,it was so easy to put together as the factory use a numbers hand written on the build so you can not go wrong , it is tested in the factory before it is sent out, boxing was well taken care of , and there SWR is bang on what there add says Amazing Antenna ,,,its already been through a few storms 120kph and i was very impressed with how little it all moved , if you are looking for a LIFE TIME ANTENNA i recommend this one ,i give it a *****+ stars

ZL1SW –
update , this summer we have had 2 cyclones ,1 only side swiped me winds of 80kph…but the last one cyclone Gabrielle got me big time ,140+kph and still the antenna took it ,it has to be the strongest antenna i have ever had ,WELL DONE ANTENNAS & AMPLIFIERS looks like a antenna for life ..
