The 80m band (or 75m towards the higher end) is a fantastic night time DX band with contacts possible half way around the globe during periods of common darkness. With many similar traits to the 160m band, 80m is welcome addition to the capabilities of even a modest amateur radio installation.
We're pleased to offer two "starter" 80 meter antennas. The first is an 80m dipole kit with instructions to build a very rugged legal limit half wave dipole. The second antenna is an absolutely deadly sloper that is a mere 34' in length and requires just 25 to 30 feet of support height. Simply put, this is a very excellent antenna for the beginning contester or DXer that is deprived of the luxury of space needed for full sized installations.
