Tactical Tunable Wire Dipole Antenna (2090-02-01)
The Tactical Tuned Dipole Antenna is a tuned antenna with frequency labels to
indicate tuned lengths. For operation, each side of the antenna is unwound to the
tuned length for the frequency required. For operation at a labelled frequency, the
label should be level with the end of the winder as shown in the picture below.
Lengths for intermediate frequencies should be estimated and tied off appropriately.
The remaining wire remains on the winder. The throwing cord can then be used to
elevate the antenna. The antenna will handle 100W continuous data and CW
transmission. The antenna can be used in a number of configurations, depending
on structures available for elevation.
