Description
A reinforced stainless steel telescopic whip that extends up to 5.6m to form a resonant 1/4 wave. Basically a poor man’s MFJ-1979!
These whips are an incredibly versatile thing to have in your toolbox – use 1 as a 1/4 wave ground plane vertical (20m up to 6m), 2 of them back to back to make a dipole (again, 20m up to 6m), or 2 in a V with a bit of wire across the tips to make a full wave loop (15m up to 6m). I’ve even used 4 of these to make an HF yagi that fits in a backpack. Being made from stainless steel, they are high strength, and should stay rust free for life. Do note that the screw thread is M10 and not the usual 3/8-24 thread found on most mounts, so you will either need an adaptor, or at least take this into consideration if home brewing your own.
