Scorpion Rotatable Dipoles
 
 
 

We have three Rotatable Dipoles to offer.
We used two of our SA-680 antennas with the Scorpion quick mount system that will get you on the air fast.

Contacts in the Ukraine, New Zealand and State side confirm this antenna works. Alexander UT7IL in the Ukraine was surprised when we explained the antenna we were using, so were the operator’s state side. The performance of this dipole is surprising. This antenna is directional and by rotating it 90 degrees gives you full coverage.

This Dipole is fully adjustable from 6 to 80 meters. We supply two 24 inch whips to cover 6 meters. We also supply two 5 ft whips to cover 10 through 80 meters. Typical VSWR for 10 through 80 is 1.5:1 or less with the 5 ft whips or using the DX Engineering Top hats. The DX- Engineering 1:1 current Balun has been tested with our Dipole with good results. Our antenna was tested at 6 ft and at 25 ft. Best results were obtained at 25 ft.

We have spent many hours testing and recording data, please contact us for the data we have collected.

Both dipole antennas are controlled by two Ameritron SDC-100 screwdriver controllers.
We recommend the Ameritron or similar screwdriver control box that has an LED display. This makes tuning the dipole a lot easier when you can see the position of each antenna.

The two 80 meter Antennas are supported by our machined mounting shaft. The shaft center has been machined to accept a three quarter inch piece of Stainless allthread that forms a T configuration. We need to know the I.D. dimensions of your mast or mounting pipe so we can build to order.

This antenna will work great for the operator that lives in an Association. This dipole can be installed in an attic, on a tripod or mast mounted.
