Horizon 1.5kw OCF80 80m/40m/20m/10m Off Centre Fed Dipole
ANTENNA DESCRIPTION
The OCF80 QRO is an Off Center Fed wire antenna designed to permit operation on the 80m, 40m, 20m and 10m amateur DX bands. The antenna is ideal for local communications within 1000-2000 km of your location or for DX depending on how high the antenna is mounted and in what configuration. If you're new to the HF bands and want to try a bit of local rag chewing, why not experiment with this antenna first. Alternatively, when the antenna is mounted at height, and well in the clear, this antenna will permit DX contacts to be made on the 40m and especially the 20m band.
For the size, weight and cost, we simply do not think there is a better performing antenna when the user is limited to a single or wire type antenna. Multi-band, high performance with utmost simplicity and ease of use. You will not be disappointed.
SPECIFICATIONS
Operating bands 10, 20 40m & 80m (Use on 30/17/12/6m with a tuner - 15m not recommended,)
Bandwidth 10m - 2500kHz, 20m - 800kHz, 40m - 600kHz typical, 80m- 150kHz (VSWR < 2.0:1)
Max Operating power 1500W PEP SSB, 600W Digital continuous operation
Typical impedance 40 ohm - 70 ohm (depending on installation height and configuration)
Gain 0.0
VSWR 1.5:1 (typical)
Total length Dipole 40.5m.
ANTENNA DESIGN AND COMPONENTS
The OCF80QRO is one of the most simple yet effective multi-frequency antennas. Light weight but strong G304 multi-stranded stainless steel wire is used for longevity. The antenna does not use any traps.
A dual core 4:1 current mode (Guanella) balun is used to provide excellent choking impedance to unwanted external surface braid currents on the feedline. The balun also provides the necessary 4:1 impedance ratio transformation to permit low VSWR over the frequency bands of operation. The balun is supplied with this antenna.
