• Superior Performance: The whip operates as a full ¼ wave antenna on the 20-meter band without the need for a loading coil, and, with an optional loading coil, covers the 30/40/60/80/160-meter bands for extended range.
• Expandable Reach: Combine with the CHA MIL EXT 2.0 to reach 28.5 feet, providing even greater reach. For additional stability, especially in extreme conditions, the CHA UGS guy kit is recommended.
