Portable HF Antenna for Field Operation

The GSM Outdoors HF-008 is a portable telescopic antenna covering 3.5 to 50 MHz across eight amateur bands. Its detachable split structure collapses to a 78 cm storage length for easy transport to POTA sites or temporary base stations. A PL-259 connector provides direct attachment to compatible transceivers.

Ideal for Mobile Hams, Not Fixed Installations

Operators who activate parks, summits or portable locations will appreciate the quick band changes via jumper cable and length adjustment. The included L-type screw wrench aids tuning in the field. Builders needing a permanent rooftop antenna or coverage below 3.5 MHz should consider other designs.

SWR 1.0-1.5 Across 3.5-50 MHz

The standing-wave ratio stays between 1.0 and 1.5 on supported bands, indicating an efficient match without an external tuner for many radios. This single figure determines whether the antenna will load your transceiver safely on the desired frequencies.
