FEATURES: 

The 432-6WL is the ultimate antenna: computer and range optimized for very high gain and excellent pattern 

across its bandwidth. It can be mounted vertically or horizontally and is also ideal for OSCAR, FM, LONG HAUL TROPO, 

ETC. Its lightweight, yet sturdy, construction keeps the wind area  low without compromising the 100 MPH wind survival 

rating. We guarantee you will be impressed. 

The heart of the 432-6WL is a unique Driven Element Module with superior weather resistance and power han-

dling abilities. The module is CNC machined from a solid aluminum block,  features O-ring sealed connectors and internal 

connections embedded in a special silicone gel that seals out weather and improves power handling. The Balun connect-

ors are triple-sealed to the coax. Other key mechanical and electrical parts are CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum 

and all hardware except U-bolts is stainless steel. 

The 432-6WL offers you uncompromising performance, enduring mechanical construction, and long term electri-

cal integrity. Where else but M
