> Operate 10 bands -- 75/80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, 10, 6 and 2 Meters with
> this MFJ-1798 vertical antenna and get full size performance with no
ground
> or radials!
> Full size performance gives high efficiency for more power radiated.
> Results? Stronger signals and more Q-5 QSOs.
> Full size performance also gives you exceptionally wide bandwidths so you
> can use more of you hard earned frequencies.
> Full size performance is achieved using separate full size radiators for
> 2-20 Meters and highly efficient end loading for 30, 40, 75/80 Meters.
> Get very low radiation angle for exciting DX, automatic bandswitching,
> omni-directional coverage, low SWR. Handles 1500 Watts PEP SSB.
> MFJ's unique Elevated Top Feed elevates the feedpoint all the ay to the
top
> of the antenna. It puts the maximum radiation point high up in the clear
> where it does the most good -- your signal gets out even if you're ground
> mounted.
> It's easy to tune because adjusting one band has minimum effect on the
> resonant frequencies of other bands.
> Self-supporting and just 20 feet tall, the MFJ-1798 mounts easily from
> ground level to tower top -- small lots, backyards, apartments, condos,
> roofs, tower mounts.
> Separate full size quarter wave radiators are used on 20, 17, 15, 12, 10
and
> 2 meters. On 6 Meters, the 17 Meter radiator becomes a 3/4 wave radiator.
> The active radiator works as a stub to decouple everything beyond it. In
> phase antenna current flows in all parallel radiators.
> This forms a very large equivalent radiator and gives you incredible
> bandwidths.
> Radiator stubs provide automatic bandswitching -- absolutely no loss due
to
> loading coils or traps.
> On 30,40, 75/80 Meters, end loading -- the most efficient form of
loading -- 
> gives you highly efficient performance, excellent bandwidth, low angle
> radiation and automatic bandswitching.
> MFJ's unique Frequency Adaptive L-Network provides automatic impedance
> matching for lowest SWR on these low bands.
> Tuning to your favorite part of these bands is simple and is done at the
> bottom of the antenna.
> you don't need a ground or radials because an effective counterpoise
that's
> 12 feet across gives you excellent ground isolation.
> You can mount it from ground level to roof top and get awesome
performance.
> The feedline is decoupled and isolated from the antenna with MFJ's
exclusive
> AirCore high power current balun. It's wound with Teflon coax and can't
> saturate, no matter how high you power.
> Incredibly strong solid fiberglass rod and large diameter 6061 T-6
aircraft
> strength aluminum tubing is in the main structure.
> Efficient high-Q coils are wound on tough low loss fiberglass forms using
> highly weather resistant Teflon covered wires.
