Chelegance MC-599 40-6M Portable Rotatable Dipole Antenna

The MC-599 is a high-efficiency, portable dipole antenna system designed for rapid deployment in the field. Engineered for the operator who prioritizes a balance between portability and performance, this 5-part modular system allows for full-size dipole operation without the need for complex support structures.

Constructed with a heavy-duty aluminum balun base and high-quality stainless steel telescopic whips, the MC-599 is built to withstand the physical demands of portable operations like POTA (Parks on the Air) or SOTA (Summits on the Air). Its primary design focuses on the 14MHz to 50MHz range, but it includes specialized wire elements to extend its capabilities down to the 7MHz (40m) band.

Key Technical Features:

• Modular Portability: The entire system collapses into a compact 22-inch carrying bag, making it an ideal choice for backpackers and mobile operators.
• Broad Frequency Range: Natively supports the 20m through 6m bands via adjustable telescopic whips. The included 40m wire kit allows for efficient resonance on the 7MHz band.
• Precision Tuning: The 5.6-meter (18.37 ft) telescopic whips allow for fine-tuned adjustments to achieve an SWR of 1.5 or lower across your target frequencies.
• Durable Power Handling: Rated for 200W PEP, providing ample headroom for standard 100W transceivers and digital modes like FT8 (rated at 100W).
• Tool-Free Assembly: Designed for a 2-minute setup time, the threaded components ensure a secure mechanical and electrical connection without requiring additional tools.
