Vertical Dipoles

Our Aluminum-Titanium material allows the construction of free-standing Vertical Dipoles (VD8010 and VD8010E) with a height of 12m (39.4ft.) for 8 bands (80 to 10m). Due to its very low weight, the setup can be done very quickly and easy by a single person without any special tools.

This antenna has very good characteristics, a low radiation angle, exceeds a usual vertical in gain and doesn't need radials.

It can be used on ground proximity, on towers or roofs. If you set up the vertical dipole close to ground, the ground will act like a reflector.

The flat radiation of the VD8010(E) is very characteristic especially on 40 through 10m and makes it to an antenna which is favorably useful for DX traffic.

The VD8010 can also be delivered as a portable or expedition version (VD8010E). The longest element then is 2m (6.6ft.).
