Introduction

The DX Engineering DXE-40VE-1 is a fast taper 33 feet high 40 meter monoband vertical antenna
system. The vertical antenna operates over the entire 40 meter band with a SWR less than 1.5:1.
There are no traps, coils or linear loading elements to rob power. Designed with 6063 corrosion-
resistant aluminum tubing and stainless steel hardware, this antenna is very durable and attractive.
The antenna may be used as a monoband antenna on a higher frequency by simply telescoping the
tubing inward to one quarter wavelength on the desired band. As supplied, an extra element section
is part of the design to allow extension to 36 feet if necessary.
