GRAZIOLI MV6 UpKit
Add the 40 metre band to your MV6
This product is an upgrade kit for the Grazioli MV6 antenna, not a complete antenna. It requires the MV6 and uses its existing radials. Maximum power on the 40 m band is 1,500 W SSB. Carry out assembly and tuning following the manufacturer's manual.
Product description
The Grazioli MV6 UpKit extends your MV6 vertical to the 40 metre, 7 MHzamateur band. The coil with capacity hat and the additional whip section turn the central element into a 40/20 m dual-band system. The DBFC wire counterpoise, installed on the existing radials, completes the system to make the 40 m band resonant and matched.
You can thus expand the operating possibilities of your station while keeping your MV6. According to Grazioli, the upgrade makes the antenna equivalent to the MV7, which already includes the 40 metre band.

Coil with capacity hat and extra whip for operation on 40 and 20 m.
Dual Band Folded Counterpoise to be installed on the existing MV6 radials.
Declared maximum power for use on the 40 metre band.
The HamRadioShop Team's opinion
If you already own an MV6 and want to work 40 metres too, this kit is the direct way to upgrade your installation. Before assembly, check the accessibility and condition of the antenna, then pay attention to tuning and to the positioning of the DBFC counterpoise.
