M0CVO VAX-2 Minivax 4 Band Dipole 40/20/15/10m

A smaller version of the VaxTenna.

Four band dipole for 10m, 15m, 20m and 40m.   SWR below 1.5 throughout the whole 10, 15 and 20m bands, <2.5 throughout the 40m band. This is fitted with a M0CVO 1:1 BALUN at the feedpoint and can be fed with standard 50ohm coax. An inline ATU is recommended, especially in the 40m band to extend the tuning range.

Overall length is just 20.28m so will even fit in small gardens. It is best mounted as an inverted vee, as in the image above, but other options may be suitable in order to fit in the available space. An ATU may be required for some bands and is always advisable if used with an amplifier.

Specifications:

• Length: 20.28m
• Bands: 10m / 15m / 20m / 40m 
• Max Power: 400W CW, 550W SSB*

This power rating is for intermittent amateur (CW or SSB) use and not for AM broadcast or constant carrier data modes. For these modes a much higher rated BALUN is required.
