The “Hy-Tower" is an omnidirectional, self-supporting vertical radiator, which operates on 10 thru 8Q meters. A 160-meter operation is possible with the addition of a loading coil. The "Hy-Tower" is now supplied with stainless steel hardware. The use of stub decoupling systems allows band switching on 10.15.20,40. and 80 meters. The stubs isolate various sections of the vertical antenna so that an electrical 1/4-wavelength {or odd multiple of 1/4-wavelength) exists on all bands. On 20 meters, the 80-meter section acts as a 3/4-wave radiator. The lifting base of the "Hy-Tower” allows the antenna to be completely assembled on the ground before it is raised into position. It is light enough for one man to assemble and for two men to erect.
