Product Information

End-fed HF antenna matchbox that is quick and easy to setup and use.
 
The end-fed feature adds convenience, and makes it very portable. Small enough to fit in your glove box or your bug-out bag.
 
 
The UV resistant ABS plastic housing encloses an efficient matching network allowing the antenna to be fed with common 50 ohm coaxial cable on the SO-239 connection. 
 
The EF 40-6 contains a trifilar wound, 9:1 UNUN (unbalance to unbalance) toroid matching transformer that will match the high input impedance of an end fed antenna into the range where most antenna tuners can produce good performance.  
 
All stainless steel hardware used. 
 
The matchbox handles 300 watts of power.  Each Unun wound with Alpha 5856/7 PTFE wire.
  
A 41 foot insulated Poly-Stealth 18 gauge stranded wire antenna and #10 solder lug is included. 
Additional length wires can be purchased.
 
Poly-StealthTM high-strength antenna wire is made with high-strength, high-conductivity, bare copper-clad steel (BCCS) wire and insulated with a high-quality, UV-resistant polyethylene jacket to provide you with one of the strongest and longest lasting antenna wires on the market today.
 
Poly-StealthTM wire is perfect for situations that require antennas be hidden from view. The insulation has a low-Gloss finish, and their small size makes wire disappear into the background. That doesn't mean, however, that the wire isn't rugged. The insulation has superior abrasion resistance for running through trees and is UV and weather resistant for use on the seacoast or in other harsh environments.They'll stand up to acid rain, high wind loads, and high snow and ice loads.
 
Experience has shown that most external tuners and many internal tuners will tune 80–6 meters with an antenna length of 22’ to 30’. If a longer antenna is desired, the provided antenna can be lengthened. 
 
Do not place a balun in the coax line. Doing so will interfere with antenna performance. 
 
The end fed antenna works well in horizontal, sloper, and vertical configurations. No ground plane or counterpoise is needed. 
 
Portable operation could not be easier. Simply hang the far end from a tree limb–the coax is at the bottom. Hang it up in a hotel balcony or string it up in the attic. End insulators are supplied making suspension easy.
 
Makes a great SWL antenna also.  
 
Completely ready to go, screw in your coax and your on the air.
 
Remember stay away from power lines.

Portable End-Fed 40-6 Meters Dipole Antenna

I absolutely love the antenna. Finally got everything I needed for my transceiver, including this antenna. It works as advertised and I am very pleased with it.

End fed dipole

Have two. One inside 39 foot in the attic and one 71 foot in the back yard between trees. Very stealthy and well made. Good for deed restricted neighborhoods. Hardly visible and have made good contacts with both. Very pleased. Chris has been very helpful.

5 Stars
Works very nicely in attic

Not having easy access to the roof, I strung this int he attic. Works nicely with my tuner for 10-40 meters. Very easy to install, and am not using a ground. Tried with a ground and was better, so no need. Great quality product.

5 Stars
Good dipole antenna

I love it, made contacts in several us states, on 40 meters and 20 meters easy to install, so small you have to really look for it. I recommend highly best antenna I have. Larry

Easy to Install and Use

The NI4L end-fed 40-6m dipole antenna is just about perfect for portable operation. I support the feedpoint on a push-up painters pole on the rear of an RV trailer and drape the wire over a nearby tree branch. The Elecraft KX-3 tunes it easily on all bands and it competes favorably with a Buddistick. The antenna stores easily in a quart-size plastic ziplock bag.

Simply Great

Simply a great design. Perfect for portable and quick operation. Received on Friday, strung the wire on the inside of my second story room along wall, over shelves, and hanging from the blinds. Worked 15 countries on 10 meters QRP over the weekend in over a couple of hours and two days. Used 817nd and Z817 auto tuner. A go bag/portable must!
