structure [tower, mast or pole]. Lower 36”
of antenna base clamps in insulator mounts
which can be attached to a vertical support
with a round or flat surface.
- Type: center-loaded, bottom-fed
vertical, whip-type antenna with adjustable
6- element capacitive top hat and adjustable
vertical tuning section. Omni directional.
Anodized aluminum finish. Guying ring
included.
