Unlike many END FED antennas on the market, this one does not require the Antenna Tuner to operate. It is a resonant Half wave on 80m (3.5MHz) therefore also resonant on second, third, and fourth harmonics, etc. &nbsp;Due to the High Impedance feed point, the antenna is less height-dependent. You can put it up at 10 or 50 feet in the air without much change in VSWR values.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>*This is perfect antenna for ALE HF-link&nbsp; stations, NVIS, MARS, ARES, EMCOMM etc.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Various installations such as horizontal, vertical, inverted V, inverted L, etc. are possible. Measured VSWR in the gallery are taken with the antenna in an inverted V shape with the center of wire at 20 feet and ends a few feet above the ground, your values could vary with the way and height of installation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>NO TUNER needed!<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>NO counterpoise is needed!
