General Description: The MA160V is a compact efficient vertical especially designed for working top-band
DX from an average-size house lot. A low launch angle and deep overhead null combine to pull in distant
stations while rejecting local QRM. The MA160V features a heavy-duty high-Q copper loading coil plus a
wide 100-inch diameter stainless capacitive hat for high efficiency, resiliency and 1500-Watt PEP power
handling. An adjustable stinger provides coverage on any 40-kHz segment across the 1.8 – 2.0 MHz band.
Weighing only 12-pounds, the MA160V installs easily and blends in with backyard trees and vegetation.
Each antenna comes with a 400-foot spool of ground-radial wire plus a Danscord™ insulated guying kit.

Tube Identification Code: Describes how tube ends are prepared to aid identification.
NS = no compression slots, 2S = 2 compression slots, 4S = 4 compression slots, H = screw hole.
Example: the MA8040VBAT is coded 2SH/4S. Code means base end has 2 slots plus a screw hole and top
end has 4 compression slots. Tubes with MA8040V part numbers are interchangeable with the MA160V.
