FEATURES:
The EB-144 EGGBEATER offers exciting performance characteristics for both fixed and mobile operations.
The EGGBEATER produces smooth omnidirectional HORIZONTAL polarity at the horizon. Above the horizon, the pattern
transforms to RIGHT HAND CIRCULAR, making it a natural for OSCAR satellite use. By spacing the EGGBEATER 1/8
wavelength above a metal surface or adding the RK-2M Reflector kit, now standard, for base installations, the circular lobe increases by 6 dB, producing a hemispherical pattern. No rotation or steering is required. For terrestrial mobile, base, net
control, contest or field day operation, increasing the distance above ground or over a metallic surface improves the horizontal
radiation by 6 dB. This produces instantaneous communications in all directions. Hams with little room or budget
for larger antennas will experience a new standard of performance with the EB-144.
