Environmental Tests

Independent environmental tests by Steven Smith K3SKS with the system deployed in 55 mph, wind gusts and ice on the elements, which enables us to rate this system for 50 mph winds.

We are dedicated to improving all of our antennas. Specifications and descriptions are subject to change without notice.

Boom Doubler Option

Our boom doubler that will be released the Summer of 2024 increases the length of the boom to 96 inches/2.46m. This is done by adding a supporting boom, which is called a ‘joiner’ under two 48 inch booms. Once the two booms are mounted on the joiner with included hardware, then a mast clamp is then affixed at the center of the joiner. This mast clamp will then affix to any standard 1.25 inch mast.
