Good quality dipole antenna with the following features:
NOW COMPLETE WITH - WATERPROOF DRAWSTRING STORAGE BAG
High strength Kevlar cored antenna wire which is self-supporting and works at a high RF voltage.
High Quality 'T' connector which includes guy support rings if required for more permanant fixing
High quality dog bone insulators used.
Tactical: Green wire can be easily hidden in bushes/trees.
Light Weight: Only 140g - lighter than copper equivalent and easier to transport - ideal for SOTA/POTA activations.
And - it works well.
special feature: Tunable
This dipole has been designed to be tuned over the 11-10 meter bands 27MHz - 29 MHz
so good for CB (27MHz) and amateur radio bands (28-29MHz); when all the antenna wire is used the antenna is a good match to the 27MHz CB band.
Pulling the wire through the cable restraints shortens the antenna effectively increasing the resonant point - from 27MHz to 29MHz and beyond...
Slide about 10 cm from each end and you'll be good to transmit on 28MHz 10 meter ham band.
I can make a bespoke antenna with a fixed frequency if required.

Hi to you Ham, CB & 11 Metre SSB DX Radio Operators. I wish to express my opinion about this 10 /11 Metre Half Wave Dipole!!!!
This Antenna is quite a good design and very good value for money. The only problem with it is that it is not weather proof however I know exactly how to improve it with my pesonal knowledge so it will be 100% perfect. Overall it is a very good design and I wish to give this Antenna a rating of 44 out of 5 Stars and also it is certainly worth buying !!!!!!!!! :-)
