HF Antenna System AKS 8010 |

| AKS
8010 is a unique, complete
antenna system without compromises for the amateur bands from 80m
to 10m, including the WARC bands. It has a height of 10m (32ft), needs
very few space and doesn't need to be tuned. |
| The system consists of
a triangular tower, the 5ele
Log-Periodic Antenna LP5 and a rotator. It works without any
traps, coils, hair-pins or phasing lines on all eight Amateur HF bands from
80 to 10m. Therefore, it doesn't age and has no changes in quality (Q).
Maximum power is 3kW PEP. |
| The rotatable LP5
on top of the system is used on 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m and 10m and has
a newly designed feeding system free of any crossing points. It is especially
optimized for the amateur bands. |
| A the same time, the
Log-Periodic is used as a top capacity for the 80m vertical radiator,
which is one of the three legs of the triangular tower - a completely unique
construction. The 80m vertical works like a quarter wave radiator with a
very high efficiency, comparable to a 20m (64ft) high full-size vertical!
|
|
The second leg of
the mast is used as a full-size quarter wave vertical radiator for
40m, the third leg as a full-size quarter wave vertical radiator
for 30m.
|
| The complete, only
10m (32ft) high system requires no permanent foundation. It comes
with a antenna base and an turn-over joint (hinge) which is simply knocked
in the ground. The guy wires are attached to ground anchors. The ropes consist
of tear-up-proof Kevlar rope (3.5mm) which is very thin and inconspicuous. |
| Switching between
the vertical radiators (80/40/30) and the Log-Periodic (20/17/15/12/10)
is done from the shack with the rotor control unit and the relais
which are located at the bottom of the antenna system. All you need is one
50 Ohm coax cable (like RG213) and a 7-wire control cable for the rotor. |
| The vertical radiators
(80/40/30) have a low resistance at the feed point to avoid damage to human
beings and animals when touching the mast even while high power is applied. |
| The complete system
- mast, rotor and Log-Periodic - weighs only 38kg (84lb.) which is
lighter than many triband beams! Setup and turnover is possible even on
very small properties due to the small size and weight. |
| This new system could
only be realized by means of the aluminum-titanium technique and opens up
completely new opportunities to a large number of hams on the amateur radio
HF bands. |
