Top Choice for: antenna restricted neighbourhoods, Campers , Hikers , Bikers , SOTA , POTA and Emergency Communications and many more...
It is constructed using very light, yet strong components and all mounting hardware is stainless steel. The antenna radiator is made from CQ-534 insulated multi-strand copper/clad steel wire with 1mm outer diameter, which has very low wind load and weighs only 31 grams yet it still maintains a breaking strength of 10kg.
The antenna includes 12 metre coax, which despite the low weight (only 185g), shows only very modest losses (1dB on 40m, 2dB on 10m).
The ultra lightweight matching unit not only matches the coax to the antenna, it also provides excellent choking resistance to suppress common mode current.
Its super light weight makes Model 404-UL ideal for portable use with any of the Spiderbeam or Spirit of Air telescoping fibreglass poles, turning your installation into an excellent field station.
