HF/SSB ANTENNAS

Marine HF/SSB (high frequency / single-sideband) radios are more highly powered communication systems that enable extra-long
range communication while on the water. Typically capable of transmitting between 100 and 150 watts, when paired with a properly
selected Shakespeare® antenna these systems can provide communication area coverage from hundreds to thousands of miles by
literally bouncing a signal off of the earth's ionosphere to "skip" around the globe. Shakespeare's HF/SSB antennas deliver the high
quality and performance needed to keep you connected, even while you are many, many miles away. Shakespeare® offers HF/SSB
antennas in our industry pace-setting Classic Commercial and ruggedly elegant Galaxy® product families, as well as in our Phase
III™ family – the ultimate in antenna design, construction and performance.
