Discover the tri-band Cubical Quad antenna BIG SIGNAL 2BS-3B at BIG SIGNAL, the perfect choice for contest stations and DX enthusiasts on the 10, 15, and 20-meter bands!
Here's why a cubical antenna and the BIG SIGNAL 2BS-3B are the ultimate choice for true DX enthusiasts:
Cutting-edge Innovation: We've pushed this design to the pinnacle of excellence, from its electrically optimized design using state-of-the-art software to its construction with the most advanced materials. This ensures extreme durability and unparalleled performance in cubical antenna design.
Unmatched Performance: Compared to a conventional multi-band Yagi, the 2-element cubical antenna offers outstanding advantages:
· 3 full-wavelength bands: Unlike traditional Yagis (1/2 wavelength), the elements of a cubical antenna are full-wavelength, achieving maximum performance and efficiency across all its working bands.
· More gain in less space: With just 2 elements, you can achieve gains similar to 3-4 element FULL-SIZE Yagis per band.
· Very low noise: As closed-loop full-wave elements, QRM and urban noise are minimized, enhancing reception quality for weak signals in the band.
· Very low radiation angle: Cubical antennas stand out for their low radiation angle even at low heights, allowing us to reach DX in fewer hops, resulting in a stronger signal on the other side. Cubical antennas are known for opening and closing propagation.
· High selectivity: Effectively suppresses side and rear lobes, further eliminating unwanted noise in rejection directions.
· Signal stability, less QSB: Thanks to the cubical quad antenna's design, reception is less affected by polarization changes, resulting in less fading or QSB when receiving DX signals.
· Incredible bandwidth: SWR below 1.5:1 on its 3 working bands, eliminating the need for a tuner.
Compact and versatile: With just over a 4-meter turning radius, it's ideal for limited spaces. Its additional capability to work on the 30, 40, 60, and 80-meter bands with a tuner and very acceptable performance offers exceptional flexibility.
Unprecedented Durability: Its robust construction ensures extreme durability with no need for maintenance. Furthermore, its lightweight compared to aluminum Yagis makes it even more impressive.
Hassle-free Installation: Assembly is simple and Plug & Play; no adjustments are needed after installation.
In a world where city noise is increasingly high, the BIG SIGNAL 2BS-3B cubical antenna is the ultimate solution for DX communications with unparalleled performance.
Choose excellence, choose BIG SIGNAL, where performance reaches its peak.
Get ready to conquer DX like never before!

The purchase of the products is always made on request. We manufacture all products, so manufacturing times can be added. That is why the final price of the purchase, as the final price of the shipping costs will be confirmed in an email sent afterwards.
The form of payment will be made once the email is received, so at all times you can cancel the order informing us of the process.
Since I have a basic call, I was looking for an antenna with good gain in reception and transmitting.
With this antenna, I have both advantages.
Solidly made and clear instructions.
A happy dxer.
