A unique tripod leg structure allows the antenna to be mounted directly on the ground or mounted on a standard communications mast. The antenna covers the 30 - 88 MHz band without external tuning. The antenna can be quickly assembled and disassembled for transport or storage. The tripod legs collapse and can be either removed or folded up parallel to the lower radiating section. The antenna has an omnidirectional radiation pattern in the azimuth plane and a figure eight pattern in the elevation plane.
Maximum power is directed towards the horizon.
For fixed installations, the telescoping legs can be replaced with metallic ground radials that connect directly to the guy wires. 383 Green Typical Antenna VSWR - Ground Mounted VSWR vs.
