cat# 1080T2FDHP
Our BUXCOMM HF Broadband Folded Dipole Antenna is made here in Central Virginia, USA. It covers 2 - 30 MHz; 750 Watts Maximum Compact in size (65 ft), it provides great signal gain, wide frequency coverage, and exceptionally low noise characteristics. In our on-site antennas tests, we have found the BUXCOMM 1080T2FD antenna to out perform the G5RV, and Extended ZEPP antennas. The BUXCOMM® 1080T2FDHP, (PoweRated 700 watts SSB) series terminated folded dipole is a broadband antenna designed for fixed station, multi-frequency applications. The BUXCOMM® 1080T2FD, 700 watts SSB antenna can be mounted horizontally between two support systems, or as an inverted ‘Vee’ using a single central support mast. This antenna is widely used by military, commercial, and standard broadcast services. The BUXCOMM® 1080T2FD, 700 watts SSB antenna elements are made with extremely durable, double insulated, UV resistant, flexible PVC and coated with clear nylon.

This one antenna does all of your "out of band" frequencies, 3.0 to 30 MHz! For MARS and HAM operators, it the perfect antenna solution. Most important; It's easy to use; Work any frequency you want without going through a lot of knob twirling and measurements to get a good SWR match. No need for an antenna tuner, and no antenna switches needed. Operation is not limited to regular ham bands. Tune any frequency in the antenna's bandwidth, 3.0 to 30 MHz (Continious operation; 80 thru 10 meters), and have VSWR of 2:1 or better. It'll receive those weak signals, much better than any vertical, and it's more reliable.
Like the cubical quad antenna, the "T2FD" folded dipole is immune to terrestrial noise and interference. With the BUXCOMM T2FD antennas, there is another advantage in that, the termination resistor tends to "bleed off" static charges that can sometimes be a nuisance while trying to capture some rare DX.
This unique antenna design covers the continuous frequency range (80 thru 10 meters) 3.5 to 35 Mhz, with a VSWR of less than 2:1 when fed with a 50 ohm coaxial cable. No antenna tuner is required with the1080T2FD600 for most radios. The (T2FD 3.5 thru 35 Mhz) 1080T2FDHP, 700 watts SSB, antenna folds back on itself and is terminated at its far side. This provides a deep range of noise rejection and reduces electro-static build-up, far better than other antennas. This feature in itself makes receiving extra quiet, providing a better signal to noise ratio. When changing frequency, there's no fumbling and twisting knobs, thereby making band-changing and frequency hopping fast and simple. This feature provides faster band changing during contest operating.The BUXCOMM 1080T2FD is now in use by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA*) and the U S Navy. (CIA* is an independent US Government agency responsible for providing national security intelligence.)No antenna tuner is required for HF for most radios.

They employed a Model TCC Navy transmitter, with a frequency range from 2.0 to 18.0 MHz. After a year of use on all frequencies the T2FD was found to be superior to individual antennas on the various bands. All other antennas were removed from the Long Beach site after the tests.Similar results were experienced by the Kyushu Electric Communications Bureau of Japan. Their experiments indicated that the terminated tilted folded dipole was superior to the "zepp'' and halfwave dipole types previously used. They too, noted wideband characteristics, and that the T2FD gave a 4 to 8 dB signal increase at their various receiver sites."
