Vai al moduloHF Single-Band Vehicle Antenna for the 10 MHz Band
The Comet HFB-30 is a single-band vehicle antenna designed specifically to operate on the 10 MHz (30-metre band) frequency, intended for amateur radio operators and professionals who need reliable HF communications on the move. Thanks to its compact size — 106 cm long and only 300 g in weight — it fits easily onto any vehicle without compromising manoeuvrability.
Performance and technical compatibility
The antenna is tuned to a 50 Ohm impedance, the universal standard for HF transceiver equipment, ensuring direct matching with no need for external antenna tuners in most installations. The PL-type connector (PL-259/SO-239) ensures compatibility with almost all HF transceivers and vehicle mounting bases available on the market. The manageable maximum power is 250 W, an adequate value for both voice and digital/CW operation on the 30-metre band.

Vehicle Installation on the 30-Metre Band
The Comet HFB-30 is optimised for mobile mounting on cars, off-road vehicles and work vehicles. Its small size makes it particularly suitable for installations requiring discretion or limited bulk, without sacrificing the typical performance of a dedicated HF vehicle antenna. The 30-metre band (10 MHz) is regulated exclusively for CW and digital RTTY/PSK use under IARU rules, an aspect to bear in mind during operational use.
Why Choose a Single-Band HF Vehicle Antenna
Single-band antennas like the HFB-30 offer, compared to multiband solutions, greater radiating efficiency at the reference frequency, since the radiating element is optimised for a single operating point. This translates into a better signal-to-noise ratio and a more predictable response when tuning, particularly appreciated by operators working on the move over long routes or under variable propagation conditions.
