Price and Availability coming soon!!!

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 IMPROVEMENT was measured on the HP VNA.

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).
Priceing: EB-4 $75.00
EB-8 $85.00
Plus S&H of $7.50
This is all great! But while you are trying to improve your OLD CONTRAPTION by the Brand X makers, why not go for the GOLD Standard:
A Hi-Q-HF
Mobile
antenna!

Patent Pending.
Attention Hi-Q Customers!
Update: 3/2/08
Hi-Q Antennas Co. is developing a NEW HF Emergency Submarine antenna externally mounted on a Friendly nation’s submarine.
It will be self-contained with built in controller for either DC or Stepper motor drives. Only the RF cable will be connected the
Hull
Penetrating connector.
Hi-Q has developed the mounting and Quick Install/Removal hardware for this antenna for the submarine’s fin.
The Hi-Q HF antenna products has been widely accepted as the Highest Radiation Efficiency RF Radiator, being remotelly Tunable from 2-30 MHz. It is an Extremely Short monopole antenna with a 1 kW power input.
Hi-Q Antennas has several on going HF Submarine antenna up-grade projects in various stages.
July 2008 we will give a presentation on Efficient HF Submarine Antennas
At the IEEE Antennas and Propagations World Wide Conference, URSI.
Please contact for details and questions on your EXTREAME SHORT HF
Antenna needs.

We will be at the 2008 International DX Convention in Visalia!
April 25-27, be sure to stop by and say hello!
We are donating a Hi-Q-4/80 RT Package "A" Mobile antenna. This is over $500.00 in value.
So spend a few dollars on raffle tickets!!

Attention Hi-Q Customers!
Update: 12/26/07
We now have part of the Hi-Q website dedicated to your unique Hi-Q Antenna installation.
This is to share your ideas with others to come, as there are hundreds of vehicle types and all are different.
Send 3 photos with caption with it and your call letters, this will be posted on the Hi-Q website under: Installation Ideas
After a while you have used the Hi-Q antenna we would like to have a feed back on its PERFORMANCE, QUALITY and the Hi-Q Customer Service.
This can be your choice of forum like the eham.net or direct mail to Hi-Q-Antennas.
All I ask is that if for some reason you are not satisfied LET ME BE the FIRST to hear about it before you go to the WORLD and if I DID NOT give you satisfaction, yes then let the WORLD know! As you may know that, many forums are only ONE SIDED and not FAIR and BALANCED!

Hi-Q-NEWS Release 11/07
The NEW Hi-Q-6/2-30HF Submarine antenna has proven to be substantionally better than the Hi-Q-5/2-30 HF submarine antenna! Although it is 4 inches shorter than the -5 antenna, being ONLY 50" tall the Radiation Efficiency is many dBi better than expected.
It has been under test for over 4 mos. Mounted on a large Dodge Van for imitation of a submarine sail.
On the Air test is mostly on 1.800 to 2.000 MHz and 3.600 to 4.000 MHz with either an Icom Pro II. Or a Mobat Micom-2R transceivers with less than 100 watt RF output.
Voice communication on the 160 M band up to 2000-mile radius was achieved and on the 80 M band the Pacific Rim countries and to the US east cost war regularly done at the appropriate times of the day.
Several times the South African station, ZS6CCY was heard on 3.795 MHz, but was not possible to penetrate the huge pile up of stations calling him.
We are very proud of this Extreame Short HF antenna and we are considering a Ham/Commercial version to be released early next year.

NEW from Hi-Q!
Since
mid December of ’06 the
development
and testing the Hi-Q-5/2-30 OE-1538 HF Submarine antenna has convinced
us to
release the HAM version of this great performing EXTREME SHORT HF
remotely
tunable antenna with the ham designation of: Hi-Q-5/160 RT
EX.
This
is the famous antenna that
was used to
make several QSO’s with Bill, ZS6CCY in South Africa on 3793 kc early
this
year, from Southern California.
The
way I’d like to put it:
PUTTING MILEAGE
on the antenna!
The
Ham version has an option to add a long
whip or attach a long wire to further improve the RE (Radiation
Efficiency)
Physical size; 54”
tall, 5” dia. loading
coil remotely tunable from 1.8 MHz to 30 MHz. Can easily camouflaged
where
CC&R’s are rigid.
Other
details available at your
request.
See pix of it on
the Mil website in BLUE.

Hi-Q Antenna specs have changed -- The Hi-Q HF antennas have been
redesigned and will now come with a 2 ft undermast. The impact in
performance is neglectible, A/B measurements did show no change in
performance @ 80 meter. We will update the specifications in the
antenna specs shortly.

SUCCESSFUL TEST WITH U.S. NAVY -- The Hi-Q HF-5/SEA antenna
was successfully tested on the US Navy’s Special COMBATANT Craft in
Norfolk VA. This special craft is operated by the Special Operation
forces and the Navy Seals. This HF antenna was specially designed for
adverse operating conditions and to with stand up to 20 Gs on rough
seas.
In Philadelphia, at the NAVSEA Warfare Center, the Hi-Q-5/OE-1538 HF
antenna was demonstrated for the US Submarines HF antenna upgrades.
This 54 inch tall antenna must operate from 2 MHz to 30 MHz, be
CONTINOUSLY Tunable and take up to a kW power input. Between December
'06 and March '07, I have had this Engineering Prototype submarine
antenna placed on the test stand at my W6 QTH and have worked ZS6CCY
three times on 3798 +/- longpath, all QSOs confirmed by Bill via
e-mail! The Hi-Q-5/OE-1538 HF antenna's Radiation Efficiency has
surpassed the currently used HF antennas on our submarines by double
digit dBs (specs are classified).
See pix and more on this on the Hi-Q-Military
Antennas website. I expect to have a HAM version of this Extreme
Short HF antenna within the next few months on the Hi-Q-Ham website.
