RFD-CW5HF, 5 Band HF Cobweb Antenna
Description
RFD-CW5HF – Compact 5-Band Cobweb Antenna
The RFD-CW5HF from RF-DXing is a compact and efficient 5-band Cobweb antenna covering 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m, and 10m bands. Engineered for performance in limited spaces, this antenna measures just 8 feet x 8 feet and weighs only 4.5 kg, making it ideal for terrace installations and portable setups.
Constructed using durable fiberglass tubes, the RFD-CW5HF is designed to withstand the elements and offers long service life. The radiator uses 1.5 sq.mm high-quality, PVC-insulated pure copper wire.
This antenna has been extensively modeled using advanced simulation software, with accurate dielectric constants applied during the optimization process. It has been field-tested with successful QSOs, confirming its reliability and performance.
Key advantages:
-
Near-omnidirectional radiation pattern in the horizontal plane — no rotor required
-
Low noise reception, especially compared to dipoles and verticals
-
Wind-resistant up to 100 km/h
If you're seeking a space-saving, robust, and multi-band HF antenna, the RFD-CW5HF is the perfect choice for both seasoned operators and those with limited installation options.
