The 6-dipole FM antenna system rated at 5kW is a high-efficiency, broadband broadcast antenna array engineered for FM stations seeking maximum regional coverage, signal penetration, and redundancy. Designed for operation in the 87.5 – 108 MHz FM band, this vertically polarized system consists of six precision-tuned dipole antennas stacked along a vertical mast. It supports a transmitter power input of up to 5,000 watts (5kW) continuous, making it suitable for national, commercial, or high-reach community radio stations.

The dipoles are connected via a phasing harness to a power splitter, ensuring even power distribution and phase alignment.
