Shorten 20m band rotary dipole.

This is my second Trapped antenna,

total length : 5 meter ,

Matching : Hairpin match.

Tested with my analyzer to get excellent resonant and SWR.

Total weight of this antenna is 1.3 Kg

Idea for potable use.

The longest tube is not more than 40 inch.

more easy to carry or keep in boot .

Size is really matter when setup a potable station.

Using hose clip for easy setup and tune .

I will try to make it as a 2 element yagi ,

Cause I really need it for when I have event.

Stay tune ...

Event at UTM Pesta Konvo (ARC-UTM)
