BlankThey're all listed on their site, but I think you might buy them from a dealer. http://www.alphadeltacom.com/pg1.html 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.

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 Has it been superseded by the dx-dd?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.
