Description: The Valcom Model VAS-1011 is a light weight 8 section fibreglass whip antenna for stationary or mobile communication applications.  The antenna's rolled thread ferrules provide two functions:

* positive electrical contact between sections
* maximum mechanical strength

The VAS-1011 antenna is easily assembled and erected in minutes by a single person using only hand tightening.  No exposure of any metal parts when assembled reduces the RF burn hazard in the event of casual personnel contact.

The mounting base includes a termination band with a terminal lug as the input connection to the antenna system.  The exceptional strength or electrical performance of the antenna will not be degraded by environmental factors, including:

* rain
* salt water
* dirt accumulation
