FEATURES:
The 2M5WL is designed with the SERIOUS “Weak Signal” enthusiast in mind. It provides excellent gain for
minimum weight and wind load yet is strong enough to survive 100+ mph winds. The modified folded dipole driven element
is also unique as it’s center is a CNC machined block of aluminum fitted with 'O' ringed connectors and access cap.
After factory assembly, the block is filled with a space age silicone gel which further seals and increases dielectric breakdown
and arc-over protection. The 3/16” rod elements mount through the boom on UV stabilized button insulators. All
hardware is stainless steel except for U-bolts. A vertical riser and an overhead Dacron cord guy system is supplied for
boom support. This antenna is widely used in EME (W5UN’s 48 2M5WL’s and many others) and large Tropo scatter arrays.
Several optional items are available to provide more gain from your 2M5WL’s. 2 and 4 port power dividers are available
for matching stacks of 2 or 4 antennas. 50 Ohm phasing lines model VHF-50 can be ordered for phasing 2 or 4 antennas together. ‘H’ frames, OR-2800 and MT-3000 AZ and EL rotators are also available as
well as Rohn and US towers.
