Model No: EB-432/RK70CM
Eggbeater Satellite Antenna
FEATURES:
The EB-432 EGGBEATER offers exciting new performance characteristics for both fixed and mobile operations.
The EGGBEATER produces smooth Omni directional HORIZONTAL polarity at the horizon. Above the horizon, the pat-
tern transforms to RIGHT HAND CIRCULAR, making it a natural for OSCAR satellite use. By spacing the EGGBEATER
1/8 wave above a metal surface or the RK-70CM for base installations, the circular lobe increases by 6 dB, producing a
hemispherical pattern. No rotation or steering is required. For terrestrial mobile, base, net control, contest or field day op-
eration, increasing the distance above ground or over a metallic surface improves the horizontal radiation by up to 6 dB.
This produces instantaneous communications in all directions. Hams with little room or budget for larger antennas will
experience a new standard of performance with the EB-432/RK70CM.
