ABSTRACT:
A whip-tilt adapter allows a whip antenna designed for use over the 2-30 MHz frequency band known as the high frequency (HF) radio band that is normally vertically polarized to be horizontally polarized for use in near vertical incidence skywave (NVIS) communication. The adapter has a vertical shaft for connection to an antenna mount or a bottom section of the antenna, a near-horizontal member having a port to connect to the antenna, and optionally a vertical port for an antenna connection. The adapter can be made to mate with any whip and whip base.
