Reviews For: Buxcomm T2FD - eHam.net
The W3HH/T2FD antenna is if it´s well build not as bad as many hams say. But there are different versions of this antenna so I can only quote mine. For me it´s the best all band compromise available, I can work all bands 80m to 10m with great success. For 160m I still use my dipole.
B-Square Engineering 10M-80M 66ft Terminated Folded Dipole
Folded Dipole antenna, truly optimized for amateur radio use. The B-Square Engineering Terminated Folded Dipole reinforces that fact, an antenna that provides solid performance and extraordinary value in one package. We fabricate this antenna using high grade, super strong STAINLESS STEEL CABLE. 1.5 ~ 30 MHz continuous coverage

T2FD or T3FD antenna are good antennas for their purpose - all HF frequency antenna system. There are no moving parts or electronics. Maintenance should be minimal. Typically a two wire T2FD like the B&W is around 4 db below a dipole on the same frequency, although this can be better or worse than 4db depending on frequency.

This antenna is based upon the traditional T2FD (Terminated double Folded Dipole) principle. It has a total length of 25 mtr. (about 12,5 mtr. per side) and comes supplied with 30 mtr. of coax with soldered on PL-259 connectors, all ready for installation and use.

Here's the good bit :-) The T2FD is often referred to as a "dummy load" antenna and not good for DX (not that I am interested in DX) I went QRO with my FT817 and ran full power all of its 5W and believe it or not I made contacts on 7Mhz 14Mhz and 3.5Mhz later on that evening and receiving signal reports of 5/5 on 40m (Europe), 5/7>8 on 20m (US ...

I was getting the same performance (the angle was the recommended 30°) and the wire antenna held up very well during that time. Eventually I moved to Florida and had a very limited space in my yard, so I sold the T2FD because I couldn't use it anymore. No antenna I used since matched the performance of the T2FD, mainly how noise free it was.
Buxcomm T2FD 160-6 Meter Antenna - eHam.net
I am selling a Buxcomm T2FD model 1606T2FD-1400 antenna. This antenna is 85 feet long and will handle 1400 watts PEP. It covers 160 meters through 6 meters (1.5 - 55 MHz). The antenna is new and the box was only opened to verify parts. The antenna listed for over $300 and I will sell it for $200 shipped to you in the US. I take PayPal or other ...
Reviews For: ICOM AH-710 - HF Folded Dipole Antenna - eHam.net
Each year we have been using a Barker and Williamson BWDS-90N Fold dipole antenna for HF communications. This is a very high performer (1.8-54Mhz) rated at 1 KW. But this year the gentleman who owned this antenna retired and was unable to return with his equipment. I had to scramble to locate a replacement antenna of similar design.
Covid-19 Dual Band 2m/70cm Antenna Build - eHam.net
Jun 24, 2020 · The antenna arrived at is shown below, and looks very similar to a standard 2m quarter wave ground plane except radial and radiator lengths and radial angle. However, the dimensions are sub optimal for min SWR for 145MHz but enable a 3/2 wavelength antenna on 70cm as we will see. Figure 1: “Compromise 2m/70cm Dual Band Antenna”

Sometimes the T2FD is better, sometimes it is better the MTA. It depends not on the frequency but the lobe of the antenna. For very low angle signals generally the MTA performs better: you can hear some distorted fluttering S2-S3 signals while you don't hear the signal on the T2FD until propagation changes and you might decide to use the T2FD then.
