Cushcraft's MA-5B Multi-Band HF antenna provides 5 band operation in a package small enough to mount to a tripod. The MA5B is a design that does not sacrifice ruggedness, performance and power handling for size and ease of installation.
* Easy To Tune: No complicated gamma matches to adjust
* Low VSWR: Flat response across all 5 bands. VSWR minimum 1.2:1
* Single Feed Point: Only one coaxial feed line is necessary for all 5 bands
* Rugged Construction: Cushcraft's tried and true stainless steel mounting hardware and heavy wall aluminum tubing make for a rugged, long lasting antenna.
* Easy To Turn: With a boom length of 7 feet and a longest element length of 17 feet, a lightweight TV rotor will do the trick.
