The folded-dipole is a great antenna to use when operating the HF, especially the digital modes, PSK31, FSK/RTTY, MT63, etc. The folded dipole is the grand-daddy of the dipole. The simple dipole is a variation of the antenna we call a “folded dipole” for well over half a century. Power Rated @ 600 watts SSB or 200 watts RMS
In addition to the low-noise figure, the folded dipole has good features in its transmitted signal as well. The added wire of the folded dipole increases both the gain and bandwidth factor for the band segments that it is operating within. As a matter of fact, the folded dipole is often used as a multi-band antenna, when using an antenna tuner.
