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
