Military Style Shock-Corded Whip Antenna

Shock-Corded Whips

These shock-cord whips are custom made by us to be extremely rugged yet light-weight. These are the same whips that we sell to our military customers who are using these in harsh conditions and need a reliable and quickly deployable solution.

Material selection is 7075 Aluminum with all brass fittings. Weight for each 3-section antenna is approximately 6 ozs.

One unique feature of these whips is the ability to add or remove sections to change the overall length of the antenna. With 3 sections the overall length is roughly equivalent to our current telescopic whips (64"). By adding a 4th section (see the drop down menu below) the overall length is increased to 85".

The maximum recommended number of sections for a horizontal dipole is 5 (106") and for a vertical antenna 7 (148") sections.

(Picture at right shows both 3 and 4 section versions)

The shock-cord that we have custom-made for us is called "extreme shock-cord” and is designed to be used even in below freezing environments. It utilizes a double stitched cover over two extra stiff rubber cores.

This is the best shock-cord available for outdoor use in all conditions. The internal shock-cord is replaceable should the need ever arise. Adjustments to the shock-cord length to accommodate additional whip sections are made at either end of the antenna via a small fitting.

These whips are meant for anyone who needs a more durable and/or quickly deployed antenna for use with the Buddipole, or as a replacement whip for any vertical antenna.

Buddipole Antennas is a manufacturer of lightweight, versatile hf portable dipole antenna and vertical antenna systems for amateur radio. Our HF portable dipole antenna is instantly configurable as a vertical dipole or any one of several other shapes including a vee dipole, sloper, or L shape. The Buddipole dipole antenna is directional and can be converted to a an effective single element vertical antenna (the �Buddistick�) by using either one of the dipole antenna arms and a counterpoise. The Buddipole or Buddistick are perfect for space-restricted covenants such as use as an apartment antenna, hotel antenna or backup marine antenna, or as a compact dxpedition antenna or backpack antenna.
