HF pocket antenna EFHW 25W for SOTA QRP with waterproof 1:49 balun

rating Read the review
Average rating: 5/5 Number of reviews: 1
The Pocket HF A25W antenna is a portable HF wire antenna, waterproof, of the EFHW (End Fed Half Wave) type, fed at the end of the wire via a 1:49 impedance transformer (balun), for reception from 1 to 30 MHz and transmission on 40m, 20m, 15m and 10m.Compact, lightweight and housed in a waterproof case, it is designed for amateur radio activities on the go, QRP, hiking, SOTA/POTA, field or temporary installation.
  • Low power portable HF antenna for outdoor amateur radio traffic.
  • Type EFHW 1:49, easy to install as it is fed at one end.
  • Compatible for transmission on the 40m, 20m, 15m and 10m bands.
  • Wideband reception from 1 to 30 MHz.
  • Element length of approximately 20 meters, suitable for multi-band HF use.
  • Maximum allowable power: FT8: ≤ 5W, CW: ≤ 12.5W, SSB: ≤ 25W
  • SWR announced ≤ 1.5, for effective matching on the intended bands.
  • Reduced weight of 250 g, easy to carry in a radio bag.
  • Several possible deployment configurations: horizontal, inclined, partial vertical or inverted V.
  • Waterproof case for better ruggedness in outdoor field use.

Included: Approximately 20 meters of Pocket HF Antenna A25W wire antenna, with waterproof 1:49 balun.

Data sheet

  • Antenna type: EFHW - End Fed Half Wave
    • The Pocket HF Antenna A25W is an end-fed half-wave antenna.
    • An EFHW uses a resonant or near-resonant wire, fed at one end instead of being fed in the center like a traditional dipole.
    • This type of antenna has a high impedance at the feed point, hence the use of a 49:1 or 1:49 impedance transformer to match it to a 50 Ω coaxial radio output.
  • Operating principle
    • The radiating wire of about 20 meters corresponds to a typical length for an EFHW intended for the 40-meter band, with possible operation on certain harmonic bands.
    • Thanks to the 1:49 transformer, the high impedance at the end of the wire is lowered to allow connection to a 50 Ω HF transceiver.
    • This architecture allows for multiband use on the announced bands: 40m, 20m, 15m, and 10m.
    • As with any EFHW antenna, actual performance depends on height, clearance, ground, radio environment, and deployment quality.
  • Installation and deployment
    • Connect the 1:49 matching unit to the radio or coaxial line.
    • Deploy the radiating wire of about 20 meters without letting it coil on itself.
    • Install the end of the wire on an insulating support: tree, fiberglass mast, telescopic pole, high point, or cord.
    • Keep the wire away from metal structures, power lines, gutters, fences, vehicles, and other conductive elements.
    • Check the SWR before transmission, ideally with an antenna analyzer or the transceiver's SWR meter.
    • Respect the maximum power levels indicated according to the mode used.
  • Possible configurations
    • Horizontal: wire stretched between two high points, useful for temporary or semi-fixed installation.
    • Sloper / inclined: unit near the ground or at operator height, end of the wire raised towards a high point; very practical configuration for portable use.
    • Inverted V: center or high part of the wire placed on a mast, ends brought down towards the ground; useful when space is limited.
    • Partial vertical or rising wire: wire raised with a fiberglass pole or tree, useful in limited space, with particular attention to clearance and common mode currents.
    • Rapid field deployment: the antenna can be set up in a few minutes for a portable QRP station, provided there is a hanging point or a light mast.
  • Frequency range
    • Reception: 1 to 30 MHz
    • Transmission: 40m, 20m, 15m, and 10m
  • SWR
    • Announced SWR: ≤ 1.5
  • Maximum allowable power
    • FT8: ≤ 5 W
    • CW: ≤ 12.5 W
    • SSB: ≤ 25 W
  • Impedance
    • 50 Ω
  • Length of radiating element
    • About 20 meters
  • Weight
    • About 250 g
  • Construction
    • Waterproof unit
    • 1:49 matching transformer
    • Imported magnetic rings according to manufacturer information
    • Compact format for easy transport
  • Recommended uses
    • Portable HF amateur radio
    • QRP
    • SOTA / POTA
    • Camping, hiking, field use
    • Temporary or low-power emergency station
    • Wideband HF reception
  • Usage precautions
    • Do not exceed the maximum power levels indicated by mode.
    • Always check the SWR before prolonged transmission.
    • Avoid any contact or proximity with power lines.
    • Deploy the antenna as clear and high as possible to improve efficiency.
    • An antenna tuner may be useful depending on installation height, environment, and band used, even if the antenna is designed to operate with low SWR on the announced bands.

Très pratique en balade pédestre
Juste une remarque, dans les spécifications il est indiqué un fil rouge de 16,5 m et un fil bleu de 10m, ce qui est erroné.
La photo est conforme. L\'antenne est une end fed avec un fil noir de 20m
