DX Engineering Skyhawk on a 50’ tower (total of 200’ ASL) that offers outstanding pileup busting performance on 20, 15, and 10 meters.

The Skyhawk tribander’s feedline is separated into 3 individual feedlines for 20, 15, and 10 meters using a high power VA6AM triplexer. This allows the tribander to be shared by both radios at the same time on two different bands. RFI and intra-station interference has been minimized by the use of high power VA6AM bandpass filters. Additional coax stubs have been installed at the base of the 80 and 40 meters verticals. Each antenna is fed using high choking impedance current balun and each feedline entering the shack has its own high power common mode choke (K9YC design). Antenna switching and bandpass filters are all wired on a board in the back room and are switched in when proper band is selected by the operator. Each operating position is provided with a PL259 coax cable for the linear amplifiers/antennas.

Each operating position has a chart on the wall with the approximate Load/Tune settings per band. Guest accessThis home will spark your nostalgia for the simple life.
