Price and Availability coming soon!!!
The Innovators!
Announcing the "EB" (Egg Beater) CapHat!
Due to its LARGE Capture Area In comparison to a 3' long whip installed on the Hi-Q-5/80 RT antenna the following IMPROVEMENT was measured on the HP VNA.

EB-8 + 3' whip |

1,220 |
Please note that the 3' whip length is chosen to maintain the overall Hi-Q- Antenna height of 6'.
When an other 3' whop was installed on the TOP of the
EB-8 CapHat, then having an overall antenna height would be 9' and further improvement is realized.
This method of adding whip length to the top of the EB-4 or EB-8 to achieve the 13'6" limit great improvement can be measured.
So what will it buy for ANY HF mobile antenna?
You can "SEE" the difference by setting the resonance to a given low band frequency, example; 3.900 kc, count the NUMBER of turns of the EXPOSED (active) TURNS with your existing whip length. Then install an EB-4 or EB-8 and count again the EXPOSED TURNS!
WOW! MANY turn less at the SAME frequency resonance.
Which then translates to LESS coil wire resistance and GREATER RE, (Radiation Efficiency).
Priceing: EB-4 $75.00
EB-8 $85.00
Plus S&H of $7.50
This is all great! But while you are trying to improve your OLD CONTRAPTION by the Brand X makers, why not go for the GOLD Standard:
A Hi-Q-HF
Mobile
antenna!

Patent Pending.
Attention Hi-Q Customers!
Update: 3/2/08
Hi-Q Antennas Co. is developing a NEW HF Emergency Submarine antenna externally mounted on a Friendly nation’s submarine.
It will be self-contained with built in controller for either DC or Stepper motor drives. Only the RF cable will be connected the
Hull
Penetrating connector.
Hi-Q has developed the mounting and Quick Install/Removal hardware for this antenna for the submarine’s fin.
The Hi-Q HF antenna products has been widely accepted as the Highest Radiation Efficiency RF Radiator, being remotelly Tunable from 2-30 MHz. It is an Extremely Short monopole antenna with a 1 kW power input.
Hi-Q Antennas has several on going HF Submarine antenna up-grade projects in various stages.
July 2008 we will give a presentation on Efficient HF Submarine Antennas
At the IEEE Antennas and Propagations World Wide Conference, URSI.
Please contact for details and questions on your EXTREAME SHORT HF
Antenna needs.

Attention Hi-Q Customers!
Update: 12/26/07
We now have part of the Hi-Q website dedicated to your unique Hi-Q Antenna installation.
This is to share your ideas with others to come, as there are hundreds of vehicle types and all are different.
Send 3 photos with caption with it and your call letters, this will be posted on the Hi-Q website under: Installation Ideas
After a while you have used the Hi-Q antenna we would like to have a feed back on its PERFORMANCE, QUALITY and the Hi-Q Customer Service.
This can be your choice of forum like the eham.net or direct mail to Hi-Q-Antennas.
All I ask is that if for some reason you are not satisfied LET ME BE the FIRST to hear about it before you go to the WORLD and if I DID NOT give you satisfaction, yes then let the WORLD know! As you may know that, many forums are only ONE SIDED and not FAIR and BALANCED!

Hi-Q-NEWS Release 11/07
The NEW Hi-Q-6/2-30HF Submarine antenna has proven to be
substantionally better than the Hi-Q-5/2-30 HF submarine
antenna! Although it is 4 inches shorter than the -5
antenna, being ONLY 50" tall the Radiation Efficiency is
many dBi better than expected.
It has been under test for over 4 mos. Mounted on a
large Dodge Van for imitation of a submarine sail.
On the Air test is mostly on 1.800 to 2.000 MHz and
3.600 to 4.000 MHz with either an Icom Pro II. Or a
Mobat Micom-2R transceivers with less than 100 watt RF
output.
Voice communication on the 160 M band up to 2000-mile
radius was achieved and on the 80 M band the Pacific Rim
countries and to the US east cost war regularly done at
the appropriate times of the day.
Several times the South African station, ZS6CCY was
heard on 3.795 MHz, but was not possible to penetrate
the huge pile up of stations calling him.
We are very proud of this Extreame Short HF antenna and
we are considering a Ham/Commercial version to be
released early next year.

The NEW Hi-Q-5/80 RT-H
While the brand X makers turn the handle to churn out more
contraptions we have designed a new highly efficient
tunable centerloaded vertical for you.
Please check out the
news section for full specs.

NEW from Hi-Q!
Since mid December of ’06 the development and testing
the Hi-Q-5/2-30 OE-1538 HF Submarine antenna has
convinced us to release the HAM version of this great
performing EXTREME SHORT HF remotely tunable antenna
with the ham designation of: Hi-Q-5/160 RT EX.
This is the famous antenna that was used to make several
QSO’s with Bill, ZS6CCY in South Africa on 3793 kc early
this year, from Southern California.
The way I’d like to put it: PUTTING MILEAGE on the
antenna!
The Ham version
has an option to add a long whip or attach a long wire to further
improve the RE (Radiation Efficiency)
Physical size; 54”
tall, 5” dia. loading coil remotely tunable from 1.8 MHz to 30 MHz.
Can easily camouflaged where CC&R’s are rigid.
Other details available at your request.
See pix of it on the
Mil website in BLUE.

Hi-Q Antenna specs have changed
--
The
Hi-Q HF antennas have been redesigned and will now come with a 2 ft
undermast. The impact in performance is neglectible, A/B
measurements did show no change in performance @ 80 meter. We will
update the specifications in the antenna specs shortly.

SUCCESSFUL TEST WITH U.S. NAVY -- The Hi-Q
HF-5/SEA antenna was successfully tested on the US Navy’s Special
COMBATANT Craft in Norfolk VA. This special craft is operated by the
Special Operation forces and the Navy Seals. This HF antenna was
specially designed for adverse operating conditions and to with
stand up to 20 Gs on rough seas.
In Philadelphia, at the NAVSEA Warfare Center, the
Hi-Q-5/OE-1538 HF antenna was demonstrated for the US Submarines HF
antenna upgrades. This 54 inch tall antenna must operate from 2 MHz
to 30 MHz, be CONTINOUSLY Tunable and take up to a kW power input.
Between December '06 and March '07, I have had this Engineering
Prototype submarine antenna placed on the test stand at my W6 QTH
and have worked ZS6CCY three times on 3798 +/- longpath, all QSOs
confirmed by Bill via e-mail! The Hi-Q-5/OE-1538 HF antenna's
Radiation Efficiency has surpassed the currently used HF antennas on
our submarines by double digit dBs (specs are classified).
See pix and more on this on the Hi-Q-Military
Antennas website. I expect to have a HAM version of this Extreme
Short HF antenna within the next few months on the Hi-Q-Ham website.
