***
Signature 9 HF Multi-Band Vertical Antenna
- Heavy-duty freestanding antenna, 29.5 feet
- 80-10M coverage
- Ideal for installing in a backyard—perfect for HOA situations
- SWR bandwidth is typically 300 kHz on any band delivering a perfect match with no tuner required
***
Signature 12.4 HF Multi-Band Vertical Antenna
- 40.68 feet
- 80-6M coverage
- 80M band is a loaded quarter-wave, 30M as a colinear and a full quarter-wave on 40, 20, and 17M. The 12M and 10M bands tune on a top loaded three-quarter wavelength element, giving close to a 5/8 pattern. A tilt base is not necessary as the Signature 12.4 antenna is able sit directly on the ground; it tunes best with the base close to the radials.

Signature 18 Nebula eXtreme HF Multi-Band Vertical Antenna
- 59 feet
- 80-6M coverage
- 80M element is fully vertical and top loaded via a small linear loaded section for fine tuning, giving you better nighttime DX capability. There is also the option of running 60M as a full quarter wave or the 20M element as a three-quarter wavelength for improved gain. Because the antenna is almost resonant regardless of where you tune, the eXtreme Nebula is a fabulous shortwave antenna, achieving amazing listening results with broadcast, weather fax, RTTY, etc. across the spectrum.
