NEW Product from Hi-Q-Antennas,

The Innovators!

Announcing the "EB" (Egg Beater) CapHat!

Due to its LARGE Capture Area In comparison to a 3' long whip installed on the Hi-Q-5/80 RT antenna the following IMPROOVEMENT was measured on the HP VNA.

Frequency Product Net Freq KC Improvement
On the VNA Over the 3' whip
3.560 3' whip 3.560 0
3.210 Hi-Q Std Caphat 3.210 350
2.790 EB-4 (4 lobes) 2.790 770
2.660 EB-8 (8 lobes) 2.660 900
2.340 EB-8 + 3' whip 2.340 1,220

Please note that the 3' whip length is chosen to  maintain the overall Hi-Q- Antenna height of 6'.

When an other 3' whop was installed on the TOP of the

EB-8 CapHat, then having an overall antenna height would be 9' and further improvement is realized.

This method of adding whip length to the top of the EB-4 or EB-8 to achieve the 13'6" limit great improvement can be measured.

So what will it buy for ANY HF mobile antenna?

You can "SEE" the difference by setting the resonance to a given low band frequency, example; 3.900 kc, count the NUMBER of turns of the EXPOSED (active) TURNS with your existing whip length. Then install an EB-4 or EB-8 and count again the EXPOSED TURNS!

WOW! MANY turn less at the SAME frequency resonance.

Which then translates to LESS coil wire resistance and GREATER RE, (Radiation Efficiency).

  • Plus S&H of $7.50
