81 WARNING: For Proposition 65 information, see p. 3 Antennas: Verticals & Phased Arrays Skyhawk™ and Skylark Antennas. The legendary Skyhawk and Skylark antennas have been mainstays of international DXers and distinguished HF contesters for years. Both antennas have been brought under the DX Engineering manufacturing umbrella. That means these highly regarded antennas are built to DX Engineering’s unflinching quality standards. DX Engineering also carries all of the service parts you’ll need to keep these antennas operating ef iciently. Skyhawk™ Yagi Antenna With over 7 dB gain on the 20 and 15 meter bands, plus over 9 dB on the 10 meter band, the DX Engineering Skyhawk has become the choice of experienced HF DXers. A trap-free design ensures the best bandwidth possible. The use of aluminum and stainless steel hardware keeps the antenna’s overall weight down to around 75 pounds. The Skyhawk has a 23' boom. It is easy to build and tune, and comes with a 2,500 watt feedpoint choke. DXE-3X10 Skyhawk Yagi Antenna ......... $2,350.97 DXE-3X10 Skylark™ Dual-Band Yagi You get almost 8 dB gain on the 17 and 12 meter bands with the DX Engineering Skylark. The antenna also provides an SWR under 1.3 to 1 across each band, plus a front-to-back over 20 dB. It handles the legal limit plus! The Skylark’s simple design eliminates any moving parts, which contributes to all-weather reliability. Aluminum elements and stainless steel hardware also promote corrosion resistance. With a boom length of just 16', the Skylark can handle winds up to 90 mph. A feedpoint choke is included. DXE-2X7 Skylark Dual-Band Yagi ..........$1,999.98 DXE-2X7 6-Band HF-Plus Yagi This heavy-duty 12-element HF-plus Yagi covers the 20, 17, 15, 12, 10, and 6 meter bands with a single coax connection to match modern HF+6M transceivers. Excellent performance is achieved by direct feed with no traps, coils or hairpins for class-leading radiating ef iciency. This ruggedly built beam antenna delivers low SWR from 20M through 6M and is ready for harsh weather environments with aerospace grade T6 6066/6082 aluminum tubing, UV and temperature-protected insulators, and all stainless steel hardware. The stout, modest length 17.5' boom is made of 2" square tubing, and the antenna's interleaved and rigid fast-taper elements are designed to easily shed the wind. IVA-18480-DXE126 20-6M 12-Element Yagi ..................................$1,860.00 OptiBeam HF Directional Antenna Systems DX Engineering carries a great selection of world-famous OptiBeam HF directional antennas, built by hams for amateur radio enthusiasts who demand lasting quality and proven performance.
