The SB-V16 / SB-V35 Series provide easily assembled and
erected vertical HF whip antennas. These provide
omnidirectional low-angle radiation patterns for ground-wave
and skywave propagation from 2 to 30 MHz. They can be
assembled and erected by one man in minutes. Broadband
operation does require an antenna couplers such as the
RF-382 or RF-2601 Series.
The SB-V16 / SB-V35 Series HF Whip Antennas consist of an
antenna base and tapered 4-foot (1.2m) sections. The SB-V16
Series has four whip sections for a 16-foot height and the
SB-V35 Series has eight sections for a 32-foot height. Each
section is constructed by embedding the RF conductor in a
tough sheath of woven fiberglass that produces an
exceptionally tough, but flexible whip antenna.
The SB-V16B and SB-V35B have feed-through bases suitable
for mounting in a 2-inch (5.08-cm) hole. The SB-V16C and
SB-V35C have flange bases suitable for mounting on a flat
surface using six mounting bolts. The SB-V16F and SB-V35F
have flexible spring bases compatible with the RF-292 for
vehicular mounting.
When using the SB-V35 Series, it is recommended that the
antenna be guyed if winds are expected to be in excess of
50 mph or if the antenna is installed permanently.
