Featuring a wide frequency range (5-50MHz), low SWR (≤1.5), and 100W PEP power handling, it supports 9 marked amateur bands for quick tuning. Its waterproof balun and carbon fiber construction ensure durability, while its lightweight design and compact carry bag make it ideal for field deployment and portable use. ## Description This is a full-sized half-wavelength horizontal dipole antenna specially designed for field day, and can be erected in horizontal, inverse V, cable-stayed or even vertical ways. The resonant frequency can be flexibly changed in the range of 5-50MHz by rolling the irradiator on the reel. In addition, 9 amateur radio bands 5/7/10/14/18/21/24/28(29)/50MHz are marked as resonance points on the irradiator to facilitate fast and accurate switching of working frequencies. Review: Easy to deploy and configure to desired band - I'm new to the Amateur Radio world and originally limped my way into the realm of HF with an ATAS-25 tunable vertical antenna. That has served me well in VHF/UHF but has been an exercise in frustration in anything below that (and particularly difficult to tune for 6m). I decided to give this Gipsy a go and I'm simply wondering why I didn't do this any sooner! With 20m - 40m having been as active as they've been in the evenings lately, this is given me the oomph I needed to continue the never-ending quest of discovery that is being a ham. I've picked up stations from Australia, Romania, Italy, Spain, Slovenia, Russia, and all over the US. I'm in the Pacific Northwest and picked up a station from Ocala, FL that sounded like he was on a local 70cm repeater. The best part is how easy it is to deploy, as well as put away in its included bag...which, by the way, almost fits in the palm of your hand! Perfect to throw in your go-bag/box. But make no mistake.... despite its compact size (the 1:1 Balun is surprisingly small), it has substantial heft to it and feels quality. I believe the balun tube is made of real carbon fiber and the ends are aluminum or steel, as are the wire spoolers. Review: I'm impressed, for the cost - As a relatively new HAM, I am impressed. I set this antenna up on the opposite side of my house from the EFHW I've been using, and plugged both into a 3-antenna switching module. I deployed this dipole in an unusual configuration due to the limitations of my property- it's in a partly-sloping wide V-pattern, and it's not very high above my metal roof, with the peak of the V on the north-facing peak/highest point of my roof. I was really worried I'd have SWR meter readings way out of range... but to my surprise, it ranges from 1.3 to 1.8. Not bad... and I'm using it on 10, 20, 40 and 80 meters. The only thing that concerns me are the terminals where the wire connects to the balun... they're thin and wimpy. So far, I haven't had any problems with them, but they've only been up a couple of weeks. When I switch between my EFHW (that I reviewed very highly, btw) and the WINDCAMP dipole, what amazes me is how much less RF noise there is. I think the EFHW manages to punch out a bit better for the watts used, but the dipole just does a way better job reducing the background RF noise. All in all, I'm very happy with it, particularly at the price point. ## Features - Frequency: 5-50MHz - SWR: ≤1.5 - Impedance: 50 Ω,SL-16 - Power: 100W PEP - Work Length: 50MHz - 2.1m, 28(29)MHz - 4.2m, 24MHz - 5m, 21MHz -6.2m, 18MHz - 7.4m, 14MHz - 9.4m, 10MHz - 13.4m, 7MHz - 19.4m, 5MHz - 25.8m (length with extended left and right arms) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B074CW8GXH | | Antenna | Radio | | AntennaDescription | Radio | | Best Sellers Rank | #866 in Radio Antennas | | Brand | WINDCAMP | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 77 Reviews | | Impedance | 50 ohm | | Item Weight | 1.2 pounds | | Manufacturer | WTB-WL001 | | Maximum Range | 5000 meters | | Mfr Part Number | WTB-WL001 | | Model Number | 4330080798 | | Number of Channels | 2 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | UPC | 742880916193 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Antenna:** Radio - **Brand:** WINDCAMP - **Color:** Black - **Impedance:** 50 ohm - **Manufacturer:** WTB-WL001 - **Maximum Range:** 5000 meters - **Number of Channels:** 2 - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **UPC:** 742880916193 - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![WINDCAMP Gipsy 5-50MHz HF Horizontal Dipole Antenna Ant for Ham Radio Waterproof Balun - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51g0wDyWG2L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How long in inches is the antenna when fully deployed?** A: Please note it is 85ft when fully deployed **Q: can i use this with an icom ic-r75 for radio astronomy?** A: Yes, you can - depending on the frequency of signals that you want to try and receive with the R75... **Q: Can an antenna analyzer be used to tune this antenna to get the lengths of the dipole just right to maximize efficiency and lower SWR?** A: In order to get the best SWR, the wire winders need unraveled to the desired band of operation. At that point, you can use an antenna analyzer to fine tune the length and/or use an antenna tuner to get the best match for the radio. **Q: What kind of core is on the balun? Air or ferrite?** A: I haven’t taken the balun apart, but I’d assume a ferrite core, based on the weight. The antenna works very well! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to deploy and configure to desired band *by E***H on May 4, 2022* I'm new to the Amateur Radio world and originally limped my way into the realm of HF with an ATAS-25 tunable vertical antenna.

If you use an inverted V, this with drastically change your center and/or end height above ground and/or angle per band. Will tune 80m when fully extended. VERY narrow band. Inner compartments of the bag were unhelpful so I removed them. I added zip ties to the balun and loops of rope to the aluminum spools. Also added tent stakes to the bag. Just things for you to consider. One of the red plastic parts of a banana plug has half broken off. Still works for not. The balun needs some form of attachment point. I shouldn’t have to add zip ties. The wire spools are nice but they shouldn’t feel like the nicest part of an antenna kit. As stated above, the bag was also subpar. So the only thing I’m not complaining about is the wire and spools. Which I had to add rope to. May just get another balun and bag. The wire spools with markings etc should be an individual item. I love them. ## Frequently Bought Together - WINDCAMP Gipsy 5-50MHz HF Horizontal Dipole Antenna Ant for Ham Radio Waterproof Balun - YOTENKO RG58 Coaxial Cable 49.2ft, CB Coax Cable, UHF PL259 Male to Male Coaxial 50 Ohm Coax Low Loss for HF VHF CB Radio, Ham Radio, SWR Meter, Scanner, Antenna Analyzer - Maxmoral 2-Pack PL-259 Coax Cable Adapter - UHF Female to Female Connector Plug --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/59851285-windcamp-gipsy-5-50mhz-hf-horizontal-dipole-antenna-ant-ham](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/59851285-windcamp-gipsy-5-50mhz-hf-horizontal-dipole-antenna-ant-ham) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-11-14*
