LabShack EFT60 Quick Manual

End-fed trap antenna

Technical Data „EFT60":

• Length 17,9 m / 59 ft

• Connector BNC

• Max Power 30 Watt CW

• V.S.W.R: 60 m: ≤1,5:1

• V.S.W.R: 40 m: ≤1,5:1

• V.S.W.R: 30 m: ≤1,3:1

• V.S.W.R: 20 m: ≤1,2:1

• V.S.W.R: 10 m: ≤1,5:1

• Antenna wire with PE jacket made of hard drawn copper

• Amidon/Fair-Rite toroid

• Waterproof housing

• Weight approx 290 g / 10 oz

The EFT60 Antenna is an easy to handle end-fed dipole for 60/40/30/20/10m not requiring a

tuner. Build as a lambda/2 antenna no counterpoise or radials are needed.

With proper mounting no antenna tuner should be required. The use of a counterpose or radi-

als is not neccessary.

The V.S.W.R. values can vary, based on the enviroment. The length of 17.9m/59ft is ideal for

cramped places, compared to other antennas for these bands.

Please use guy ropes for mounting.

The antenna is delivered resonant. The resonant frequency is at the beginning of each band

and the tuning was done as an Inverted-V with an 10m glass-fibre mast. Normally there should

be no tuning required. However, based on influences of the enviroment, a small adjustment may

be needed.
