FEATURES
The 80M3 is a real performer, both mechanically and electrically. Element halves start with 3" diameter
tubing and taper through 2", 1-3/4", 1-1/2", 1-1/4", and 1" sections to the 3/4" tips. The 3" and 2" sections
are separated by a polyethylene insulator to allow for the linear loading (#10 copperweld). A solid 2" O.D.
Fiberglass rod, sleeved to the 3" elements, serves as the center insulator. The center boom section is 4-
1/2" O.D. x 20' with nearly 1/4" wall thickness. The two outer boom sections are 4" O.D. x 20' x .125 wall.
The linear loading terminates above the boom and out of the element plane to reduce inductive
cancellation, provide element support,and reduce excessive droop. The 1:2, 5 KW balun, and phone / CW
power switching relays are housed in heavy wall ABS cannisters at the center of each element. CW / Phone
switching relays require 12 VDC supply.
