The Rapid Deployment Tuned Dipole Antenna is a tuned antenna with frequency
labels to indicate tuned lengths. For operation, each side of the antenna is
unwound to the tuned length for the frequency required. For operation at a
labeled frequency, the label should be level with the end of the winder as shown
in the picture below. Lengths for intermediate frequencies should be estimated
and tied off appropriately. The remaining wire remains on the winder. The
throwing cord can then be used to elevate the antenna. The antenna will handle
40W continuous data and CW transmission. The antenna can be used in a
number of configurations, depending on structures available for elevation.

- Page 2 P/N BU01109 Horizontal Dipole The horizontal dipole has maximum gain on the broadsides of the antenna, and reduced gain along the axis. Height above ground affects radiation angle. Lower heights give higher angle radiation, better for NVIS (short distance). Higher heights give lower radiation angle, better for long distance communication.
- Page 3 P/N BU01109 Sloping Dipole Radiation with the Sloping Dipole becomes somewhat asymmetrical, with increased gain in the direction of the lower end of the antenna, and reduced gain towards the higher end. Single Ended For rapid deployment, with reduced but still acceptable efficiency, the antenna can be operated single ended.
