The supplied Military Folding Antenna Manpack 7 Sections Length 285 CM (9.35 ft)
whip is a broadband monopole antenna designed for portable or manpack radios requiring compact but rugged antenna systems.
If used in a stand-alone setup the antenna will cover 28-54 MHz with an external antenna tuner. To enhance RF propagation and antenna performance a ground-plane is required.
Its design has been borrowed from similar antennas utilized by many armies all over the world
It is very hardy, sturdy and portable (being collapsible). Un-mounted the entire antenna length is less than 20”. The 7 brass sections of 17" long each are hold together by a piece of military shock cord.
Height: 9’35”

The Slidewinder DX Coil High-quality HF Antenna Coil.
Easy to use, easy to install, easy to maintain.
Designed for use with all 3/8 24 tpi, Antennas fittings & Mounts.
Screws easily on to all Antennas & mountings by hand no spanners required.
The SlideWinder DX Coil former has 5 air gapped vertical grooves to improve the movement over the coil windings, When tuning using the Stainless Steel tuning Slider.
For proper spacing of the coil windings the coil former is grooved to keep the windings in place, High quality heavy duty 316 marine grade stainless steel wire is used.
So rust and corrosion will never affect your coil, It will look good years from now.
Coils are easily maintained by simply wiping the coil with a dry lint free cloth.
Stainless steel has the properties of being able to form a protective layer once scratched.
Sliding the tuning slider up and down on other metals would slowly erode their protective coating.
This would lead to corrosion of the coil causing arcing & coil failure.
Operate portable.
The SlideWinder DX Coil operates from 40 to 10m metres with a 102" Telescopic whip.
Depending on whip size we found the 17ft 1979 Telescopic whips by MFJ Tuned from 20m down to 60m.
Please be aware if using the SlideWinder DX Coil with a large 17ft 1979 Telescopic whip by MFJ
care should be taken to avoid excessive wind loading using this Antenna in wind speeds greater than 20mph, As most telescopic whip antennas are not that strong in high winds.
When used portable in the field or fixed-station the use of ground radials kit that comes supplied with 4 x 4.5m radials, But if you wish to add more radials it will only help to improve antenna performance & VSWR further.
SlideWinder DX Coils may be used at power levels up to 100 Watts SSB, 100 Watts CW and 25 Watts with digital modes.
Tuning, Slide tuning slider up and down coil until maximum noise or signal is received.
Fine tune for lowest VSWR Using an VSWR Meter or an Antenna Analyzer.
