58 Antennas: Vertical 43' Verticals and Remote Antenna Tuner Mounting Kits It’s important to mount your MFJ remote antenna tuner as close as you can to your DX Engineering MBVE-5A multi-band vertical antenna to maintain signal ef iciency. Just make sure to protect it from weather, rising water and curious critters. Use DX Engineering’s new remote antenna mounting kits. They attach right to the base of the vertical. More importantly, they’ll mount the tuner up of the ground— away from Mother Nature and her furry friends. Select your kit based on your tuner model; the MFJ 927, 993, 994 and 998 remote tuners are supported.

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 62 for Radial Plates and Radial Wire Kits to complete your antenna installation.
