Comet engineers have specifically designed this antenna for those that desire a multi-band dipole that can be rotated if needed, but don’t have a lot of room to install it. Compact, lightweight, and easily assembled in either a horizontal, “V” shape, or ground-plane configuration. Each band tunes independently of the others.
Description
This is the compact dipole used for HF communications on the set of the ABC Television show “Last Man Standing” with Tim Allen. The crowded space above the set required a compact multi-band dipole and the CHV-5X was selected as the best option.
