The Workman W58 is a high-performance 5/8 wave base station antenna for serious CB and 10-Metre operators. Standing a full 18+ feet tall, this omni-directional antenna provides a low angle of radiation, making it an exceptional choice for making long-distance (DX) contacts from your home base.
This antenna is a complete ground plane kit, including four 3.5-foot radials that ensure a stable SWR and excellent performance. Built from two rugged fiberglass sections, the W58 is weatherproof, handles 500 watts, and is fully tunable for both the 11-Metre (CB) and 10-Metre (Amateur) bands.
💡 License & Band Notice
This antenna is designed for the 11-Metre CB band (license not required). It is also highly effective for the 10-Metre ham band, but a valid Amateur Radio Operator Certificate is required to transmit on those frequencies.
