The TW2010 Traveler® Antenna
The TW2010 Traveler® is the perfect antenna if you are searching for high performance
DX communications in a portable package. The Traveler® provides five-band, omni-directional communications in an easy-to-assemble package that requires no radial ground system or towers. The black powder coating assures stealth performance for Hams who operate in areas with deed restrictions or other areas prohibiting permanently installed antennas and towers. A low take-off angle - an outcome of the modified-H design - produces maximum skip for successful DX transmissions and contact. The Traveler® can be assembled in minutes for either permanent installation on a mounting rod, or temporary setup using a sturdy, optional Quadrapod.

"Everything about this antenna is first class, from the shipping carton
and packing, to the antenna and controls. The first thing that struck me
very positively was the way the antenna was packed – all powder
coated parts where in a plastic sleeve. Controls, instructions and
cable were boxed separately in the same carton. "The antenna is a vertical di-pole, very similar in concept to a competitor (Sigma 5) and that is the only thing in common. The build quality is great and does not look like it was put together in a garage workshop. "The antenna is very close to plug and play. The instruction manual in my opinion is well written and illustrated, and makes it easy to get on the air. Total assembly time for the antenna was about 8 minutes after reading the manual. Not one problem putting it together. I like the folding arms, should be great for portable use. The other nice feature is no nuts and bolts -- about 80% if the antenna is assembled when you get it. "The control box for band switch is great, push button with LED indicator lights and built like a tank. "The antenna, at least for me, required no adjustment of the tuning coils. SWR’s on all bands were 1.1 to 1, max was 1.5 on 17M. I used my LDG tuner to make the final adjustment, but you really don’t need the tuner. "How well did it perform? Great!! I worked GB100J (England Boy Scout’s SE), France, the Ukraine, and Slovenia, CA, Utah, and Washington state on 20M phone. On Sunday I got all my 10M contacts needed for 10-10 International. I was using my TS-480HX, running about 100 watts. Signal reports were S8 to S9. "I compared the antenna to my friends G5RV and Hustler vertical. It was about 1-2 S units better than both and much quieter than the Hustler and no need for radials. "I think this antenna is well worth the price, compared to others of similar design, and no need for a 5 gallon bucket of cement (Quadpod is available)." Randy W9RTB "I worked DX contacts on six continents with Traveler." Michael N4ECW "Talk about easy set up - just unpack, connect and begin working QSOs." Jeff KG4TTK "My neighbors don't complain about my antenna anymore because they can't see it." Bobby N2BR "Even at the bottom of the sunspot cycle I was able to work DX daily." Dave N4OZO "You don't need an amplifier. With 100 watts, if you can hear a station, you can work it." Jim W4SOH "Wow, at 1200 watts Traveler® handles near the full legal limit of output." Pete KR4TI "It's easy to carry, easy to assemble, and easy to set up." Alan WW4DX |
