Product Overview

The TACT-160LX is a high-efficiency portable HF vertical antenna designed specifically for 
operation on the 160-meter (1.8 MHz) amateur radio band.

Constructed with a full carbon fiber radiator, the TACT-160LX combines lightweight portability with an extended radiator length to 
deliver improved radiation efficiency and enhanced low-frequency performance.

With an overall length of 386 cm, the TACT-160LX provides significantly greater effective electrical length than 
conventional highly shortened 160-meter antennas. 
The longer radiator helps reduce loading losses, improve radiation efficiency, and enhance long-distance DX communication performance.

Designed for portable operation, the modular antenna structure allows for quick assembly and disassembly, making it ideal 
for POTA, SOTA, field deployment, emergency communications, 
camping, and portable HF operation.

Whether operating from a park, mountain summit, campsite, or temporary communication station, 
the TACT-160LX offers an effective solution for operators seeking improved 160-meter performance in a portable antenna system.
