BIGIR VS. 43 FOOT ANTENNA EZNEC SHOOTOUT CONCLUSIONS May 28, 2016November 27, 2008 We have looked at the 43 foot antenna available from DX Engineering and Zero Five alongside the BigIR product from SteppIR. In addition, the BigIR was simulated using the optional 80 meter coil. Both antenna types approach the vertical HF antenna problem with unique solutions.

Among all the dipoles, beams and other types of antennas, the lowly vertical has regained some popularity thanks, in part, to the BigIR SteppIR and, more recently, the 43 foot vertical offered by DX Engineering and Zero Five antennas.

The position of that tape needs to be known occasionally during maintenance. To quote… Read more Categories Antennas Tags BigIR, SteppIR THE 43 FOOT VERTICAL – THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING? May 28, 2016October 22, 2008 The 43 foot vertical antenna is a popular height being promoted by several antenna manufacturers for 160 to 10 meters. Let’s see why and examine some advantages and pitfalls.
