BIG SIGNAL 2BS-6
2-Element Cubical Quad Antenna Designed to Unlock the Full DX Potential of 50 MHz
The BIG SIGNAL 2BS-6 is a monoband 2-element full-wave Cubical Quad specifically designed to provide an excellent balance of gain, directivity, low-noise reception, and compact dimensions on 50 MHz.
It is an especially attractive option for operators ready to move beyond a dipole, vertical, or small Yagi and step up to a truly directional antenna for 6-meter DX without installing an oversized structure.
Band: 50 MHz / 6 meters
Type: Monoband directional Cubical Quad
Elements: 2 full-wave elements
Polarization: Horizontal
Designed For: DX / SSB / CW / FT8 / weak-signal work
Main Advantage: High efficiency in a compact footprint
Installation: Quick and easy

Key Features
• Two Full-Wave Elements
Unlike conventional Yagis based on half-wave elements, the 2BS-6 uses full-wave closed loops, taking advantage of the characteristics of Cubical Quad geometry to provide efficient and directional performance on 50 MHz.

• Excellent Performance with Only Two Elements
The combination of a reflector and driven element provides useful gain and strong directivity in a relatively compact structure, making it an excellent choice for serious DX without the boom length of a much larger array.

• Closed-Loop Geometry for Cleaner Reception
Its closed-loop elements can provide a favorable signal-to-noise ratio in the presence of certain types of electrical noise, an especially valuable characteristic for weak-signal work in urban RF environments.

• Designed to Take Advantage of 6-Meter Openings
On a band where propagation openings can be short-lived and signal levels can change quickly, having directional gain and clean receive performance can make a real difference when working distant stations.

• Good Front-to-Back Performance
Its directional pattern focuses transmit and receive performance toward the desired direction while helping reduce unwanted signals and interference arriving from behind the antenna.

• Stable Performance During Fading
The characteristics of Quad elements can respond favorably to certain polarization changes that occur during propagation, helping provide more stable reception of DX signals under some conditions.

The purchase of the products is always made on request. We manufacture all products, so manufacturing times can be added. That is why the final price of the purchase, as the final price of the shipping costs will be confirmed in an email sent afterwards.
The form of payment will be made once the email is received, so at all times you can cancel the order informing us of the process.
L'antenne fonctionne directement a l'installation , aucun reglage.
Je constate beaucoup moins de bruit qu'une yagi 3 elements
Elle est assez legere mais bien construite malgré cela et je pense qu'elle va resister dans le temps les aluminiums sont de bonnes qualités
Merci Juan toujours dispo pour faire du sur mesure car elle est fixée par l'arriere et non avec le mat au milieu
