5.B.(5) Antenna Location
The antenna is a primary factor for maximum performance
of the KHF 1050 HF system. While numerous options are
available in the choice of antenna configurations, some
configurations are better suited for a particular
installation than others. Commonly used aircraft HF
antennas will generally fall into one of four categories:
Characteristics of these commonly used antennas and the
compromise associated with each type are described below,
so the installer can select the antenna that is best
suited to a particular aircraft and type of operation. All
antennas should be installed in a manner that does not
jeopardize the safe operation of the aircraft.
5.B.(6)(a) "V" and Long Wire Antenna Mounting Location
Revision 0

KHF 1050 SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL
"V" (Referring to the V shape formed by the antenna wire)
and Long wire antenna.
Short grounded wire antenna.
Shunt antenna.
Because of their generally good performance,
consideration should be given to the use of "V" and long
wire antennas on all installations, except very high
speed fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. Wire
antennas are not recommended for use on helicopters,
due to safety concerns in the event of an antenna wire
breakage.
