Q) How can I be confident that your antenna is a professional product suitable for use in commercial broadcasting?
A) Our antennas have been installed on countless towers in locations ranging from Alaska to Africa. They have survived everything from blizzards to tropical storms. Norwalk Electronics is the only broadcast antenna manufacturer to offer a money back performance guarantee on its antennas. Our customers include the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, RVR Transmitters, and Progressive Concepts. For a wide selection of quality broadcast transmitters please visit the links to our distributors below.

Q) Is the Dominator antenna used at FCC licensed installations?
A) The Dominator is in use at many FCC licensed LPFM and translator facilities. These stations have listed the antenna on their CP or license as a single section non-directional. Making certain that the combined TPO plus antenna gain do not exceed the licensed ERP. Note: Due to archaic FCC rules most full power US commercial stations are unable to take advantage of linear vertical polarization.

Q) What connectors do you offer on your antennas?
A) The standard 1 kilowatt model is available in either N or SO-239. 3 KW versions are available with 7/16" DIN. To view the actual connectors click on the name above. All connectors are silver body and Teflon insulated.

Q) How is your antenna mounted?
A) The antenna is easily mounted using the supplied 1-1/2 inch U-Bolts. It can me mounted to standard mast or to the top of a tower. The preferred method is to top mount the antenna. In some applications this is not possible due to other antennas occupying this location, lightning rods, or tower beacons. Dominator antennas can be side mounted as shown in our website photos when required. Typical tower standoff distances are about 5 feet.

>>Dominator antennas are real performers. We have noticed a significant improvement in our coverage area since we began using the Dominator FM antenna. Formerly we had been using a dipole. The radio station KTR FM 94.1 is located in Kapchorwa, Africa. The Dominator is side mounted on a communications tower shared with microwave links and cell phone antennas. It has worked flawlessly since installed with very low VSWR and increasing our broadcast coverage. Thanks for making a solid product. Sidney B. Anderson, KTR FM 94.1

>>The Dominator FM antenna made an unbelievable difference for our station. The tower structure is 87 feet high, and the antenna is up at the 100 foot level. I'm using Andrew 1/2" healiax hardline and driving the antenna with 600 watts. The station covers 35 to 40 miles solid, with some directions 50 miles from the tower site. I had been using a J-pole antenna. When I decided to try the Dominator, I could not believe the difference it made! It was like I went from 600 watts to 2,500 watts! For a small FM, our station covers like a full powered radio station. I had thought the price was high and wondered what the catch was until I put it up. It is truly worth the price as the Dominator increased the coverage of our signal incredibly! For any LPFMs, or medium power stations that want good solid coverage, I recommend this antenna. Anything else and your just throwing your money away. Doug Pringle.

>> Dave from WRMV radio writes, "Thanks for a great product! It does everything you say it will do. Just installed it last Thursday and was astounded at its performance! It will run circles around any of the expensive ones from the big broadcast equipment companies and its durable too!! Buy it, buy it, buy it! Dave Cash, Fellowship Broadcasting".

>> Patrick from music radio 107.5 writes, "I recently purchased the 3/4 wave antenna and installed it just over a week ago. I am totally satisfied with it. It performs just as it was described! I had been using the Comet 5/8 wave for about 3 years, and was happy with it's performance, but it got to where it wasn't performing correctly...my SWR was way out of sync. I was going to get another Comet, but happened to find your website, and saw the 3/4 wave advertised. It sounded so good that I decided to order it, even though it was a little more money that I had intended to spend. Believe me, it was well worth the extra expense!! My signal penetration is so much better. My SWR is the best it's ever been...I had the antenna factory tuned to my frequency. Bottom line, I highly recommend this antenna for anyone needing a new one. Plus, my dealings with the company were great....they answer questions quickly, and the antenna was shipped within a couple of days of the order".

>> I purchased this antenna about a month ago and couldn't be happier. This thing is built like a tank. The tuning steps are clearly marked on the top radiator, and it was right on at 50.125 as set up. No adjustment necessary to get a virtual 1:1 swr. There haven't been many big 6m openings in the last few weeks, but I turned the radio on to 6 this evening and have worked quite a few new grids including XE1KK in EK09 from my home in Wisconsin (EN55). That's over 3000 km on a mediocre opening. Yes, I know a beam would give me more gain, but this thing is sitting in a tripod on the roof of my garage. No rotor, nothing fancy, just a great vertical. I have used it on fm for 6m repeaters as well, and it is broadbanded enough that when I go from 50.125 ssb to 52.830 fm, my swr meter doesn't budge. Great product and free shipping. KC9JCH

>> Donald, Got the 6-meter Dominator in. I am amazed - from the time I opened the box. The antenna went together in less than 10 minutes. Was in the air in another 10 minutes. Whoever gave thought to the assembly of this antenna is a genius! Great contacts on FM and SSB. SWR is fantastic. Antenna is outperforming any 6 meter vertical, I believe, on the market. N4YR is using one on his Sauratown Mountain machine, 53.310, 100 tone. It has a big footprint. Thanks so much for making an excellent product. 73's WA4ZCE

>> James writes, "Hi Again, Just a short note to say we set-up the antenna and we are very impressed with the SWR reading, so much so that the second guy helping me, after doing the SWR meter calibration for FSD and switching over to read reflected power the needle stayed so close to the bottom of the scale, he remarked "is the meter working?" This compared to the lowest I had seen with a folded dipole of 1.8 to 1. Just before we ordered your antenna we tried the 5/8 wave and could not get a reading below 2.6 to 1".
