Discontinued LDG End-Fed Long Wire kit (200 WATT) (80-10M)

The LDG EFLW KIT - 200 WATT 80-10 is an End-Fed Long Wire (EFLW) antenna kit designed for amateur radio (ham radio) operators.

Key Features:

• Power Rating: 200 watts
• Frequency Coverage: 80 meters to 10 meters (3.5 MHz – 30 MHz)
• Type: End-fed long wire antenna
• Use Case: HF (High Frequency) bands for general amateur radio operations, including portable, emergency, and home station use.

What’s in the Kit?

Matching Transformer (Unun or Balun): Helps with impedance matching to make the long wire usable across multiple bands.

Wire - The long wire element that radiates signals.

Hardware (Insulators, connectors, etc.): Essential for installation.

Why Use an End-Fed Antenna?

Easy to Deploy: Can be installed as a sloper, inverted-L, or horizontal.

No Radials Needed: Unlike vertical antennas, it doesn’t require a ground radial system.

Great for Portable Use: Ideal for field operations like POTA (Parks on the Air), SOTA (Summits on the Air), or emergency comms.

Does It Need a Tuner?

While some end-fed antennas are resonant on certain bands, this kit will likely work best with an LDG auto-tuner (or any external tuner) to ensure proper matching across all bands.
