TRUSS ANTENNA Truss whip is a 15 foot vertical pole supporting 4 wires running top to bottom. Starting at the top, these wires belly out from vertical approximately 3 feet and then run back to the supporting pole at the bottom, forming something of a diamond pattern. At first glance, these wires appear to be guy wires but are actually radiating elements providing broad band operation in the 10 - 20 MHz range. Power handling capacity is 5KW.
