Marine VHF Antenna with Low Weight and Wind Load for Masthead Mounting

This marine VHF antenna is designed especially for mounting at the masthead of sailboats. The dimensions have been kept as small as possible to reduce weight, wind load and cost.

Despite the small dimensions the efficiency is very high, and the antenna is fully capable of handling the full 50 W of output power from typical marine VHF transmitters.

The tapered ½ λ stainless steel radiator together with the chromed brass housing and stainless steel corner bracket constitute an antenna tough and ready to cope with the corrosive environment at the masthead.

The end-fed dipole principle makes the antenna independent of ground-plane, radials or other auxiliary arrangements.

The antenna whip should not be mounted parallel or near to other metal parts, such as windex, supporting wires etc. Free mounting and as high as possible is preferable, otherwise the SWR and the radiation diagram will be influenced.
