80M End Fed Zepp Antenna
The MFJ End Fed Zepp is an endfed wire antenna that, when properly erected and fed with balanced feedline through an antenna tuner, will be usable on all amateur bands from 80 to 10 Meters. This antenna will handle 1500 watts of RF power (with a suitable antenna tuner). Its total length is approximately 135 feet.
The antenna is 135 feet long, a halfwavelength at 3.5 MHz (for convenience, think of the center of the 80 Meter band as roughly 130 feet, and 4.0 MHz as about 125 feet). Endfeeding a half wavelength of wire on 80 meters has certain mechanical advantages over centerfeeding the same length of wire. It can be erected in limited space situations where a foot centerfed antenna is not possible.
