Product Information
Dual core 240/61 balun 1500 watts RTTY 3KW +SSB.
CURRENT BALUN with 50 ohm COAX connector
- Each balun and antenna is hand crafted, built right here in the USA.
- Using the best materials.
- The ferrite cores are 2 1/4" in dim. using 240/61 material. Teflon wire.
- It is encased in 3 inch pvc round tubing.
- Stainless steel hardware is used.
- Double aluminum ferrals are used to hold the wire in place on the balun double machine crimped.
- The wire used is , FLEXI 450 OHM LADDER LINE for the legs with Flex-Weave 14 tuning stubs.
Quickly switch bands and eliminate a tuner as one more thing to adjust. Eliminate send/receive tuner loss.
The dipole legs are constructed using top quality, Ladder line 2 #16 AWG; 19/29 strands Cu-clad with black poly jacket. Nominal OD .065 x .930; Extra flexible & less likely to break in the wind. Nominal impedance 420(ohms); VP 91.7%. Good for -20oC to +60oC degrees. With Flex weave 14 tuning stubs.
FLEX-WEAVE TM is a sophisticated hybrid aerial wire. Its new innovation provides rope lay construction strength and high flexibility. It can be tied in knots to insulators and untied for repeated use. FLEX-WEAVE TM is sometimes referred to as "wire rope" or "jewelers rope". It will not kink or rust out as will copper-clad wire. This flexible wire has also been used for rapid deployment, spool-out, military aerials.
FLEX-WEAVE TM #14 (168 strands of #36 wire). It is excellent for quads, dipoles, long wires, and rapid deployment (spooled-out) antennas. Highly UV resistant PVC jacket.
FLEX-WEAVE TM is the "Cadillac of aerial wire". It has been written about in all amateur radio publications since its introduction in 1989. This revolutionary product has been used by thousands of hams, commercial firms, and government agencies.
The insulation has superior abrasion resistance for running through trees and is UV and weather resistant for use on the seacoast or in other harsh environments. They'll stand up to acid rain, high wind loads, and high snow and ice loads.
NOTE: Some bands will require the use of a tuner. Do not try to load 80 meters with a outboard tuner on the 160 OCF if the SWR is high it will result in damage to the cores and your equipment.
fully assembled, complete and ready to go with end insulators and crimped center and end connections.

270f ocf
I purchased this antenna 4 years ago and I have found this antenna is a real work horse. I work a lot of FT8 and I can work Japan with 10 watts. If you have the room this antenna would be the best.
OCF Antenna
This is a great antenna. We are running it with a FlexRadio 6400. We are using a tuner - just to keep the radio “happy”, as it were. If you want a super antenna (OCF or conventional dipole) consider an NI4L. Quality construction and superb performance.
