The HF Wire Antenna Kit provides a versatile range of tuned wire antenna solutions for use with vehicle borne or man-pack applications. This gives the radio operator the opportunity to deploy an antenna suitable for most requirements. It can be configured as a tuned dipole for medium range skywave paths with the take off angle dependant on the apex height above ground. Near Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS) can be achieved using the kit in an inverted vee configuration with an optimum apex height.
