BlankThey're all listed on their site, but I think you might buy them from a
dealer.

The DXcc is 82-feet long, they also have slopers, like the DXA and DXB which
is a one-legged version of the A but they generally needed to be mounted on 
a tower with a good ground and a beam for a capacitive hat.  You can mount 
those slopers on non-metalic structures and in trees by running a wire from 
the mounting bracket to ground.

The slopers don't use ladder-line or twin-lead.  You can feed them with RG8 
or RG58 as you like.

Thanks for the info.

I just looked on their website however and I see the dx-dd and dx-lv+ or
something like that but not the dx-cc.

Has it been superseded by the dx-dd?

The dx-dd seems to be about 82 feet long and has one or more coils
attached to the wires.

A little more enlightenment please.


Thanks.

Don
