Carolina "Short" 40 - 10m * Radiator length: 12.8m (42ft) or 15.25m (50ft) * Vertical Radiator:3m (10ft) * Polarization: Vert & Horiz * Feedline: 50 Ohm coax * Matching: DMU + Transmatch * Transmatch: Required * Power: 1.5kW CW/SSB * Install: >9.1m (30ft) above ground * Radials: Not required
The Carolina Beam 40 has three vertical radiators properly spaced out to produce low-angle, beam like performance. The horizontal portion of the antenna interconnects the three vertical sections and acts as both a feed system and a radiating counterpoise. The result is a multi-element inverted-vertical antenna that operates high in the air, free of ground losses. It is a very efficient antenna. The overal length of the Carolina Beam 40 is only 15.25m (50ft.) easily placed in most small gardens.
