Qty

60 Meter QZ-60 Matcher

60M Antenna Wire 95'(un-tuned)

End Insulator

* Do not install over or around AC power lines or feeders, you could be killed or injured!

* Do not touch or allow others to touch the antenna while transmitting over 1 KV can be present!

* RF Exposure, follow the FCC OET Bulletin 65 and Amateur Radio Supplement B to OET

Bulletin 65 guidelines. Best practice as usual, use the least amount of power needed.

Tips & Advice

--This is a Single Band Antenna, DO NOT try to force it onto other bands!

--Do NOT USE conductive guy lines to support it, and never tie directly to trees without using a pulley system!

--Deploy away from other antennas or metal if possible.

1. In the shipping box you will find the matching unit for 60M with a ~95 ft radiator(un-tuned) permanently attached.

Under the U.S. FCC regulations for 60M you can only transmit up to 50 W PEP output relative to a half-wave dipole on

channelized frequencies. As the QZ-60 is a half-wave dipole there is no need to figure out the gain of the antenna, as long

as you don't input more than 50 W PEP you will remain legal.

2. Drip Dam(optional) Helps prevent water/rain from running down the antenna wire to the operating position. Squeeze and

slide the non-conductive Drip Dam over the open wire end before final insulator install.

3. Installing insulator--thread wire thru per diagram below and it will self lock in place.

Do you have a question about the QZ-60 and is the answer not in the manual?

Page 1 Under the U.S. FCC regulations for 60M you can only transmit up to 50 W PEP output relative to a half-wave dipole on channelized frequencies. As the QZ-60 is a half-wave dipole there is no need to figure out the gain of the antenna, as long as you don't input more than 50 W PEP you will remain legal.
Page 2 If using an SWR meter you will need to take several sample readings low/middle/high of your frequency of interest with each cut of the wire. The QZ-60 has a 1.5:1 bandwidth of 250KHz and therefore will cover the entire 60M band.
