Your latest
requests have been for an antenna that's easy to
setup, needs no radials, covers 10m-80m in addition to all the
WARC bands and uses the same GAP technology found in our
other products. In response to these requests GAP is proud to
announce the newest addition to the family, the Titan.
The Titan is a center fed GAP vertical, that provides a host of
benefits in a rugged, yet manageable form. The Titan offers
broad, continuous frequency coverage in a no tune, easy to
assemble format. Designed to work in a limited space or as the
perfect compliment to an antenna farm.
One of the primary virtues of the Titan is the GAP center feed.
By elevating the feed the earth loss is dramatically decreased,
which means the RF is going out to make the contact instead of
into the ground to warm the earth. Reducing the earth loss
eliminates the need for a radial system. The Titan requires NO
RADIALS.
Another key benefit the Titan provides is the ability to go
virtually anywhere in the HF amateur spectrum, at anytime
without having to make any adjustments. The Titan is the
ONLY antenna marketed with total continuous coverage under
2:1 on 10m 12m 15m 17m 20m 30m 40m and 100 KHz on
80m. Titan's broad bandwidth and no tune feature make it an
ideal antenna for getting those multipliers during contests or
switching frequencies as band conditions change.
The Titan is a respectable 25' tall and weighs a solid 25
pounds. The Titan is configured to mount easily on a 11/4"
pipe. This pipe can be a length of your choosing and since the
feedpoint is elevated this pipe can be as short as a foot.
The first 8' of the antenna is comprised of double wall tubing
and where the Titan mounts to the mast the antenna is triple
wall! Which means guys are not a necessity.
