The Rapid Deployment Broadband Dipole Antenna is a dipole antenna with loading to allow broadband operation. For operation, each side of the antenna is unwound to its full length. Throwing cords are provided that can be used to elevate the antenna or tie it to ground for an inverted V configuration. The antenna will handle 40 W continuous data and CW transmission. The antenna can be used in a number of configurations, depending on structures available for elevation.
