The log~periodic dipole array (LPDA) is respected for its wide bandwidth, constant impedance, and high gain. Measuring 6' 8" boom length, the Create CLP~5130~1N offers 50~1300 MHz bandwidth for transmitting and receiving, with an average forward gain of 10~12 dBi. Ruggedly constructed of solid aluminum for lightweight durability.
{Fitted with an N connector for low~loss coax.}
"This is the antenna I use for serious VHF/UHF communications. Its rugged, solid elements and magnesium alloy brackets withstood a hurricane spawned tornado that trashed the 30~foot steel tower on which it was mounted!" Bob Grove
