(Ships within 20 days of order placement)
The DXP-806 Field Cobweb Antenna is a versatile multiband antenna designed for amateur radio operators who value performance, portability, and ease of setup. Covering the 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, 10, and 6-meter bands, it is an excellent solution for portable operations, POTA (Parks on the Air), Field Day, IOTA (Islands on the Air), and backyard installations.
Proudly manufactured by a small family-owned business, the DXP-806 reflects a hands-on approach to product development, with attention to detail and a genuine understanding of the needs of amateur radio operators. Each antenna represents a commitment to practical design, functionality, and the amateur radio community.
Featuring a compact cobweb design, the DXP-806 uses folded half-wave dipole elements arranged in a square configuration. This design provides multiband operation through a single feed line, offering a convenient alternative to installing separate antennas for each band.
Designed with portability in mind, the DXP-806 Field features a lightweight, modular construction that allows for convenient transportation, assembly, and disassembly. Its fiberglass support structure and durable components make it suitable for outdoor operation in a variety of environments.
Whether you're activating a park, operating from a remote location, participating in a radio contest, or enjoying contacts from your backyard, the DXP-806 Field offers practical multiband versatility in a portable antenna system.
