CHA LEFS 8010 (Lightweight End Fed Sloper) EFHW

Sale price $225.00

67 in stock

80–10 m lightweight end-fed wire antenna

A two-section lightweight end-fed radiator for documented 80–10 m field deployments.

Built for a real operating goal

Carry 80-meter reach without giving up a lightweight field package

CHA LEFS 8010 extends the lightweight LEFS idea into a two-section end-fed wire that can cover 80 through 10 meters in the documented configuration.

Deploy the primary section when the shorter guide-defined geometry fits the site, or add the extension for the full approximately 130-foot 80-meter radiator. It is aimed at operators who want lower-band capability in a packable antenna and have the supports and footprint to use the complete wire safely.
