9kW Inverted V Dipoles Antenna System

All our products are handmade, and fulfilment times may vary depending on order volume. Please allow 2–3 weeks for your order to be completed and shipped.

The RF.Guru Inverted V Antenna is a robust and flexible HF wire antenna system, purpose-built for effective DX and NVIS operation across the low bands. Designed for versatility and serious power handling, this antenna is available for 160m, 80m, 60m, and 40m operation.

Band Options & Wire Lengths

Each model includes two wire legs (high-quality stranded copper) you cut to resonance. Fold-back trimming is also supported.

Tuning Tip:You can either cut the wire legs to length for the center of your desired band, or cut them slightly longer and fold back the ends to fine-tune resonance without permanently shortening the wires. This gives flexibility for future adjustments.

Mounting & Balun Options

Depending on your mast material, choose the appropriate configuration:

• Metal Mast → Balun-on-Mast configuration
  Includes a mounting bracket for the BALUN. You feed this configuration with a coaxial cable running up the mast to the 1:1 BALUN.
  
• Carbon / Composite Mast → Balun-on-Ground configuration
  

  In this setup, the balun remains safely near ground level. The Inverted V is interconnected using a single 600Ω open wire feeder (16 meters long), with the balun mounted just above ground. The dipole legs and the ladder line are physically the same wire, forming a continuous conductor from one leg to the other. The coaxial cable feeds the 1:1 balun directly at ground level, avoiding RF coupling into conductive carbon mast structures. Our ladder line is a one-wire setup that includes a custom mounting bracket specifically designed for our carbon poles, ensuring there is no mechanical disconnect between the open-wire feed and the radiating dipole elements.

What’s Included

• User2cut on resonance wire legs (based on band selection)
• Center insulator and wire spacers when open-wire version is chosen – already attached to the wire + end insulators for the radiating lengs + eyelets to mount on the balun.
• End insulators for the radiating legs + 2 thimbles, 2 Bull-dog Grips and 2 Carabiners when the metallic pole mount version is chosen

Balun Options

Choose your power level based on your station setup:

• 6kW ICAS 1:1 Balun Unit with Eyelets – Heavy-duty design for high-power users
• 9kW ICAS 1:1 Balun Unit with Eyelets – Our highest-rated unit, built for contest-grade operation
• 9kW ICAS 1:1 Balun Unit for open wire ladder line use – Our highest-rated unit, built for contest-grade operation

All baluns units are weatherproof and designed for efficiency and durability.

Installation Notes

• Recommended apex height: 8–15 meters
• Leg angle: 90–120° for optimal impedance and radiation pattern
• Ground clearance: ensure wire ends are at least 2.5m above ground
