[SJDXA] Wire Antenna/OCF Piece Parts

Wed Jul 29 11:33:51 EDT 2020

Steve, I have a DX 80 OCF short just 77 Ft. 80 OCF multi band dipole that works without a tuner on 80,40,2O and 10. 80-6 with a tuner. It’s made by Radio Wavz and is mounted in my attic.
Their web site it www.radiowavz.com.
Works well here.

> "All-in-One" --> the OCF may be a very nice choice for you then, Joe. I have personally used the Balun from these guys (5KW version) and the antenna became very convenient for me. What I really liked was that it let me work both SSB and CW on 80m- so broadbanded on 80. 40m is decent- not great- but worked many many many VK, ZL, JA, FK, 3D2 in the morning with that antenna on 40m. The only band you need to be cautious on is 15m- which is NOT supported. Bands supported 80, 40, 20, 17, 12, 10, 6 (no 30, no 15). At least will get you on the air!

>> Steve, thanks for the info. I will definitely look into this.
>>  If anyone has any more input please don’t hesitate to share. I may not be able to keep up with the level of knowledge that you all carry but I am more than willing to try to learn more about antennas. I am a tinkerer by nature. I work with my hands for a living. Building antennas is part of what drew me to the hobby. But trees, neighbors, and a wife are some huge obstacles to work around. Hihi. So I’m trying to find something stealthy and “all in one”. I keep coming back to the OCF.

>> Nice to see everyone last evening (virtually!). during the conversation(s) one of the questions asked was relative to OCFs, etc. Below is a link to a local guy in Allentown, PA. that makes (and ships out) good stuff at reasonable pricing for the OCF application. Can also purchase baluns and UNUNs stand-alone and integrate them into your own designs, if that's the path you want to take (preferred by me).
