The SHORT-40 Radio Works Carolina Short 40-10m

The Carolina Beam 40 has three vertical radiators properly spaced out to produce low-angle, beam-like performance.

The horizontal portion of the antenna interconnects the three vertical sections and acts as both a feed system and a radiating counterpoise. The result is a multi-element inverted-vertical antenna that operates high in the air, free of ground losses. It is a very efficient antenna.

The overall length of the Carolina Beam 40 is only 15.25m (50ft.) easily placed in most small gardens.
