General Description
End-Fed Horizontal Wire antennas (or EFHWA) cover multiple
bands without traps, stubs, or resonators. End-fed wires
resonate on their 1/2-wave fundamental frequency plus all
odd and even harmonics above. By adding a broad-band
matching network, the wire's high impedance feed point is
transformed down to 50 ohms across a wide frequency range
and, in most cases, you won't need a tuner to operate. Note
that the single-wire radiator may be installed using only
one high center or end support, making it fast and easy to
set up at home, on the road, or as a "grab-and-go"
emergency antenna.

All MFJ-1982
models come with 132 feet of antenna wire and cover 80, 40,
30, 20, 17, 15, 12, and 10 meters. The only difference
between the LP, MP, and HP version is the power rating of
the matching network. The MFJ-1982 resonates slightly above
the 30-meter band, so a tuner is normally needed for
transmitting. Also, note that there is small 6-turn inductor
wound into the antenna wire about 6-feet from the matching
unit.
All MFJ-1984 models come
with 66 feet of wire and cover 40, 30, 20, 15, and 10
meters. Note that 17 and 12 Meters are not covered because
they are not harmonically related to the shorter wire
length.
Power Rating
All ratings are in Watts-PEP using the SSB or CW mode
and transmitting 50% of the time or less per the ICAS
(Intermittent Commercial and Amateur Standard). These
ratings do not apply to long key-down power applications
where the matching network could overheat. De-rate
accordingly for these modes.
