On the ham bands the Super Slinky Helical Dipole 2 is great for travel or limited space situations. It can be used in a hotel or motel room. The Super Slinky Helical Dipole 2 makes a great vacation antenna and beats trying to use the mobile antenna to make decent contacts. I have personally used this antenna while camping and it was a truly awesome antenna stretched out between convenient trees. The convenient eye hook in the center insulator makes it very easy to use as an inverted Vee configuration. It only takes one support when using the Inverted Vee installation. It is recommended that the antenna be used with good quality 50 ohm coax. The size of the coax is the only limitation on power. It has been tested at 1 KW. The Super Slinky Helical Dipole 2 Shortwave Antenna can be configured in hundreds of ways and can be deployed to fit the unique situation at your home location. Here are just a few examples: SW listeners can deploy the Super Slinky by stretching it out on the floor, hiding it behind furniture, attaching it to the baseboard of house or apartment, thumb tack it to the wall or ceiling, dropping it out the window vertically, stretching it out across the rafters in the attic, stretching it out the window to a nearby tree or pole and tying off the end!!! The instructions sheets offer numerous ways the Super Slinky Helical Dipole 2 Antenna can be used successfully. In most cases it will make an awesome difference in the quality of your reception and transmission over a mobile or random length wire. The Super Helical Dipole 2 Antenna has over 60' of high quality coiled steel wire in each HALF of the dipole, for a total of 120 feet which gives users a huge signal capture area for radio signals when receiving! This length makes the antenna very efficient. A small antenna tuner will allow all band operation without any hassle or readjusting the coils and could even offer some gain on the higher bands. The antenna has been tested at 1 KW! Every joint is SOLDERED! This means years of reliable service. There is a standard so-239 coax socket at the bottom of the center insulator. It is sealed with silicone inside the center insulator. So, there should be no moisture issues with the antenna. It is sealed with silicone on the inside for a long life. The Super Helical Diploe 2 offers these important advantages over other popular antennas: 1) This antenna can be used on a multitude of shortwave and ham bands, because the length of the antenna can be adjusted so easily, 2) The antenna direction and length are easily adjusted to fit conditions, 3) The compact nature of the antenna gives users with limited space a real chance to hear signals on the bands! It can be returned to its original small size in seconds and stored away when not in use! 4)The antenna is a No hassle, Easy to Use, and truly Plug and Play. If you can't put up a permanent outside antenna, you should give very serious consideration to the Super Helical All Band Dipole 2!! Many buyers of the Slinky Helical antennas have stretched the antenna out inside their attic and have had great results working all of the US and lots of DX as well on the higher bands!Instructions will be sent to buyers via PDF when the auction is complete!!! You may have to retrieve the email from spam filter as some servers send emails with attached files automatically to junk mail! Look at the pictures to see how small, compact and easy to use this antenna really is! Picture 2 shows a typical installation of the antenna. The coax shown connected to the antenna was for test purposes and DOES NOT come with the antenna. A huge capture area results in such an installation as this! The photo showing the installation hung from a 15' pole off my back deck is a practical arrangement. The center is attached at about 15' and the ends are stretched out and tied off to any convenient object like a fence. The Super Slinky Helical Dipole 2 performed great in this arrangement and I was able to work all the USA on 40 Meters with this set up running my barefoot transceiver! But the best part is that it took less than 10 mintues to install it and I was on the air almost immediately! But this is only one type of set up. Your imagination is the only limitation for installations! All antennas are shipped via Priority Mail which means 2-3 day delivery time! Sorry, but USPS has raised Priority Mail costs again!

Customer Satisfaction is my goal . If there is any sort of problem with an antenna, a refund or return is always available. Please email, if there’s a problem first, before giving negative feedback.
