Featuring an optimized MEF-130-LP transformer with an average insertion loss of only -0.4 dB (~9% loss) compared to similar products on market with insertion loss as high as -1.5dB (~30% loss). 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 (3.55MHz) and therefore also resonant on second, third, fourth, etc. harmonics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"45600\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/myantennas.com\/wp\/?attachment_id=45600\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myantennas.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MEF-130-LP-33.jpg?fit=1172%2C879&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1172,879\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"MEF-130-LP-33\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myantennas.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MEF-130-LP-33.jpg?fit=980%2C735&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-45600 size-large\" src=\"\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MEF-130-LP-33-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myantennas.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MEF-130-LP-33.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myantennas.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MEF-130-LP-33.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myantennas.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MEF-130-LP-33.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myantennas.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MEF-130-LP-33.jpg?resize=324%2C243&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 324w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myantennas.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MEF-130-LP-33.jpg?resize=416%2C312&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 416w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myantennas.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MEF-130-LP-33.jpg?w=1172&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1172w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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,&nbsp; etc. are possible.
