75 Multi-Band High-Performance 43 Foot Vertical Antenna Packages With SAF-T-TILT™ Base If you want to work DX, but don’t have the real estate for an antenna farm, these packages are an excellent solution. They deliver exceptional multi-band performance with a compact size and attractive price. These easy-to-set up, easy-to-use packages cover the entire HF band, from 160 to 10 meters. The rugged 43' antenna employs a free-standing, fast taper design that can survive winds up to 92 mph. It’s made from 6063-T832 drawn aluminum and features stainless steel hardware for excellent corrosion resistance. Each package below includes the DX Engineering’s exclusive patented SAF-T-TILT™ base, which lets you safely raise and lower your antenna for service. The MBVE-5A antenna requires DX Engineering’s UN-43 UNUN and a wide-range tuner. You’ll also need 150' of RG-213 cable, sold separately. For optimum results, we recommend a good ground radial system (32 radials, each 32' to 65' long). You can get by with fewer radials with diminished performance. We’ve created kits that bundle together some of the essential components. A brief summary is below; a comprehensive description of each combo is at DXEngineering.com.

The COM-20VA antenna can be used on any single band —20, 17, 15, 12 or 10 meters—by adjusting its length. Constructed from 6063 aircraf -spec aluminum tubing, these antenna taper from a huge base section. High strength, UV-resistant EXTREN® insulators and a heavy aluminum plate mounting base ensure long lasting, reliable performance under adverse conditions. The antennas come with V-saddle clamps for installation to your ground-mounted pipe; 2" OD pipe is recommended, but the clamps will accept any size from 1" to 2". Stainless steel hardware included. Light rope guying is always recommended for phased systems to keep spacing precise and minimize swaying. 20 Meter Vertical Antenna COM-20VA 20M Vertical Antenna ...........$189.99 COM-20VA-2P 20M Vertical Antenna, Set of 2 ..................................$379.98 DXE-TB-8P Tilt Base, Kit ..........................$134.98 COM-20VA-4P 20M Vertical Antenna, Set of 4 ..................................$759.96 30 Meter Vertical Antenna COM-30VA 30M Vertical Antenna ...........$299.99 COM-30VA-2P 30M Vertical Antenna, Set of 2 ..................................$599.98 COM-30VA-4P 30M Vertical Antenna, Set of 4 .............................. $1,199.96 DXE-TB-7P Tilt Base, Kit ..........................$134.98 40 Meter Vertical Antenna COM-40VA 40M Vertical Antenna ...........$325.99 COM-40VA-2P 40M Vertical Antenna, Set of 2 ..................................$651.98 COM-40VA-4P 40M Vertical Antenna, Set of 4 .............................. $1,303.96 DXE-TB-7P Tilt Base, Kit ..........................$134.98 See page 79 for Radial Plates and Radial Wire Kits to complete your antenna installation.

They feature ultra-wide SWR bandwidth and unbeaten gain, and can handle the highest power amplifiers for reliable performance. They’re ideally suited for single antenna applications and directional multi-antenna arrays. Visit DXEngineering.com for details. DXE-7580FS-VA-1 has a 2" OD heavy wall base section. Its slim profile means you can hide it easily, even in a small stand of tall trees. Some DXers have painted the antenna to match the bark of the surrounding trees. Because of its slim, full size height, guying is required on this antenna. DXE-7580FS-VA-1 2" OD Full Size Vertical ..............$899.99 DXE-7580FS-VA-2 has a 3" OD heavy wall base section and thick-wall 6061 aluminum tubing mid-sections, providing a strong antenna with no guying necessary. The antenna can easily be lowered with the supplied Heavy-Duty Plus Stainless Pivot Base and the optional DXE-VRW-1 hand winch. DXE-7580FS-VA-2 3" OD Full Size Vertical ..........$1,534.98 DXE-VRW-1 Manual Winch Add-On Kit ........$287.99 The massive DXE-7580FS-VA3 features a 4" OD heavy wall base section and thick-wall 6061 mid sections, creating a very stout 68 foot vertical antenna with no guying necessary, even in adverse conditions. It can be lowered easily with the supplied Heavy-Duty Plus Stainless Pivot Base and the optional DXE-VRW-1 hand winch.
