The Sigma LW-10 HF 40-6m wire antenna is a versatile antenna that is perfect for radio amateurs who want to cover a wide range of frequencies. At the heart of this antenna is the 9:1 UNUN, which converts the impedance of approximately 450 Ohms to the 50 Ohms that your transceiver expects. This antenna offers a reliable solution for efficient signal transmission over the HF bands from 40m to 6m.
Features of the Sigma LW-10 HF Wire Antenna:
- Efficient Impedance Conversion: The 9:1 UNUN provides optimum impedance matching, which is essential for the performance of your transceiver.
- Connections: The UNUN has three connections: an SO-239 connector for the coaxial feed line and two machine screws with wing nuts for the wire antenna and ground connection.
- Easy installation: Mount the power point as high as possible, such as on a pole or wall. Stretch the wire horizontally or in another configuration that fits within the available space.
- Wide Frequency Band: The LW-10 operates on all HF bands from 40m to 6m with an external ATU.
- Rugged Construction: Made of high quality materials for durability and reliability.
Installation tips:
- Use a good quality 50 Ohm coaxial cable, preferably RG-213 or Mini 8.
- Connect the other end of your coaxial cable to your ATU and then from the ATU to your transceiver.
- Provide a ground connection with a wire to a ground stake to reduce static build-up and lightning strikes.
- When using a high-power amplifier, it is essential to place an external ATU between the antenna and the amplifier to prevent damage.
Important note:
The power capacity of 400W CW or 500W SSB is for intermittent amateur use only. For AM transmissions or digital data modes (FT-x, RTTY, etc.) a higher power Balun is required.
The Sigma LW-10 HF wire antenna offers an excellent solution for radio amateurs looking for a reliable and versatile antenna for use over a wide frequency range. Thanks to its robust construction and efficient impedance conversion, you can count on optimum performance and a long service life.
