Can the CHA LEFS 4010 Be Installed as an Inverted-V?

The wire shape is an electrical decision as well as a mechanical one. Changing one endpoint can change both the match and where the signal goes.

The CHA LEFS 4010 puts a full 65 ft HF radiator into a compact 1.1 lb package for operators who would rather carry antenna wire than a heavy support system. Its integrated end assembly combines the suspension point, line winder, 49:1 matching network, and both EFHW and dipole feed connections.

What matters for this decision

• The current guide names sloper, horizontal NVIS, and half-wave dipole configurations. It does not publish the 65 ft EFHW as an inverted-V configuration.
• If an inverted-V is the requirement, use the dedicated dipole attachments with a documented resonant paired wire set and suitable center support.
• Do not bend the 65 ft end-fed wire into a neighboring geometry and keep calling it the controlled LEFS 4010 sloper.

Why operators choose this system

For POTA, SOTA, hiking, biking, and temporary HOA operation, its strongest advantage is a complete resonant field workflow: raise the feed assembly, pull out the wire, connect the supplied choked RG-316 when that variant is selected, and operate four popular bands without stopping to adjust the antenna.

Published operating reference

• Published bands without a tuner: 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters.
• Published tuner-assisted bands: 30, 17, and 12 meters.
• Published power: 100 W SSB, 50 W CW, and 25 W digital or other modes.
• Published size: 65 ft wire, approximately 1.1 lb, one-operator setup around 10 minutes.
