The

RF-1912 family consists of three antennas: RF-1912E

(radiating elements and feedline), RF-1912T (RF-1912E

with transportable masts), and RF-1912B (RF-1912E with

permanent masts).

The element length and height above ground has been

designed to optimize take-off-angle for HF skywave prop-

agation from NVIS to 2000 kms. The RF-1912 can also be

configured as a top-loaded monopole for short-range

ground wave or long-range skywave. Both antenna

configurations achieve near 100% radiation efficiency

because they do not contain any resistive loads. Broad-

band operation does require an antenna coupler.

The RF-1912 family is designed for use with transceivers

operating at up to 1 kW RF output power. For broadband

operation, from 1.6 to 30 MHz, the RF-1912 requires an

RF-382, or RF-2601Antenna Coupler and associated

cables.

The RF-1912E comes with 100 foot of support rope

to be installed on customer-supplied masts. The

RF-1912T has lightweight aluminum mast

sections that are easy to assembly and dis-

assemble for tactical operations. The

RF-1912B is designed for one-time

permanent installing.
