The GPA-80FHP is a multiband HF base vertical designed for amateur operators who want dependable performance across multiple bands from a single, straightforward installation. Built with rugged fiberglass (GRP), it’s well suited for long-term outdoor use, while its “install and get on the air” approach makes it an excellent choice for both newcomers and experienced operators.
Key features
-
Multiband HF operation (80m to 6m) with an ATU recommended for optimal matching.
-
Strong fiberglass (GRP) construction for outdoor durability.
-
Space-efficient vertical design that fits a wide range of station setups.
-
Coax-friendly SO-239 base connection and a standard 50Ω system.
-
A solid all-round option for everyday QSOs and DX—especially with proper grounding/counterpoise and good placement.
For best results
Use an external antenna tuner (ATU) and pay attention to grounding and/or a suitable counterpoise depending on your installation. On the lower bands, the quality of the installation (grounding, radials/counterpoise, location) has a major impact on performance.
