The Hi-Q-2.5/80 Tune-A-Dipole

NEW from Hi-Q-Antennas!

Now you can receive your Tune-A-Dipole(TAD) in a nifty Gun Carrying case! The case will give you a convenient, protected way to transport your TAD, plus has room for a small portable HF radio, battery, etc. The case costs $50.00.

Hi-Q-Antennas has gone back 8 years and reintroduced the Hi-Q-2.5/80 Tune-A-Dipole 10-80 Meter HF Portable antenna.

The rotatable Hi-Q-Tune-A-Dipole HF antenna is very light and transportable -- just 7 pounds -- with the longest element only 34" long, when broken down for transportation.

It is based on the Hi-Q-2.5/80 XTL (Extra Light) HF mobile antenna. A pair, back to back, assembles in minutes. The Hi-Q loading coil (Q=360) handles SSB legal limit and will tune CONTINUOSLY from 10-80 M including the NEW 60 M band. Works great on a Tri-Pod or a mast from your vehicle, no radials needed and uses a 52-ohm cable without any matching device.

It has 2.2 dB gain in comparison to the standard HF mobile antenna.

Ideal for QRP companion, where every bit of radiation efficiency improvement helps.

Remember that the Hi-Q products are not cheap copies of a Don Johnson type antenna!!

Hi-Q-Antennas... Always LEADS, never FOLLOWS!

Subject: YI9WV update

Hello Charlie,

My name is Buzz and my call is NI5DX. I am the QSL manager for YI9WV, Kitch, deployed near Fallujah, Iraq.

I wanted to give you an update on Kitch's activities with your antenna. He has been using the TAD exclusively for some time now. His QSO total is over 6000 as I write this and the majority of these are using your antenna and 100 watts of power. Since putting up the TAD his total Qs has increased dramatically. He is/was quite surprised at the ability of the antenna to "hear" as well as it does. He has worked stations on all bands from 80 to 15 meters, with a few contacts on 10 meters, as well. Kitch has continued to work about 90% CW, with some PSK31 in the log also. The large majority of entries in his log are Europeans, but he has had some nice openings to North and South America on most bands, including many US stations working him on 40 meters.

I am attaching a couple of pictures of his antenna setup at the "margarita hooch" as he calls it. This is his operating location when he is in camp, but he operates from outside the camp location with no difficulty by carrying his equipment, including the TAD, in a gun case.

Thanks for making such a fine antenna for portable use. If it were not for the TAD, Kitch could still operate, but it would be much more difficult for him to get everything set up to go. Your antenna makes it very easy for him to get on the air quickly and with a minimum of effort in assembling his station.

Feel free to use this email and/or the pictures on your website.

73,

Buzz

(PS: I am thinking about a TAD, as I like to operate from some IOTA spots nearby and a lighthouse close to my QTH. Seems the TAD would be perfect for my use, as well.)
