Radial plate for vertical antennas

• 84 radials
• 3 mm in stainless steel
• maximum internal width 170mm
• external size max. 400mm
• ca. 2 kg of weight

The performance of a vertical antenna depend largely on the quality of the counterweight. This quality is determined by the type, number and length of the radials. Put simply, here is worth the following: "a lot helps a lot", the more there is, the longer it is the better it is. But how do you get many threads to a common mass point of the antenna? A radial plate is used here. {

The Wimo radial plate was designed by expert competitors who often use vertical and 4 squares in real conditions in the race and know the requirements of such a system. The radial plate is made of stainless steel of 3 mm thick and offers 84 holes to connect the radials. Although stainless steel does not offer the best conductivity from an electrical point of view, this material represents the best compromise between stability, resistance to atmospheric agents and electrical properties. Copper or brass would not be a good medium or long -term solution, especially if used on or in salted water. {

a vertical assembly bracket on the radial plate is used to mechanically block the plate on the floor or radiator. The hole in the middle offers space for tubes up to 170mm thick, the holes on the corner allow the use of a U -shaped bracket with a width 50 or 60mm. In addition, there is a receptacle for a coaxial flanged bush to which a power line can be mechanically mounted. The supply includes 20 sets of screws with elastic slices and scraper discs, so you can start immediately. Further sets of screws, UC supports etc. They are available as an option. The indestructible radial plate Wimo has a maximum diameter of approx. 40cm and weighs approx. 2 kg
