Big Thunder Monobanders
Cushcraft’s newest vertical antenna offering omnidirectional coverage on the popular 2 meter, 6 meter and 70 centimeter bands is a great idea for someone
with limited space or in need of an antenna that can be easily knocked down and transported. The AR6270B is a great choice for mobile home use. The
antenna offers 2dBi of gain 6 meters, 5.5 dBi on 2 meters and 7.5 dBi on 70 centimeters.

A627013S 6 Meter/2Meter/70 Centimeter
Cushcraft’s newest multiband directional yagi is designed to provide hobbyists
who have limited tower or mast space with directional antenna performance on
three of the most popular bands. The A627013S combines 6 meters, 2 meters
and 70 centimeters on one boom. Since the three antennas were designed to
share a common boom, the A627013S solves the often encountered problem of
degraded antenna performance due to inadequate spacing when using separates.
