Glomex Black Swan VHF Antenna w/Wind Indicator & 66' Coax Cable

The Glomex Black Swan VHF Antenna with Wind Indicator and 66' Coax Cable is built for serious mariners who demand reliable communication in any sea condition. Whether you're running offshore or navigating coastal waters, a properly installed VHF antenna is your lifeline to the outside world—and the Black Swan delivers professional-grade performance in a compact, corrosion-resistant package. This antenna combines proven Glomex engineering with practical marine features designed for vessels that spend real time on the water.

The antenna's integrated wind indicator serves dual duty: it signals true wind direction for sail trim decisions while also doubling as a visual status check for antenna integrity when you're topside. The 66-foot coax cable provides substantial reach—critical for larger vessels or installations where the radio console sits well forward of the mast—and is terminated and ready for connection to your existing VHF radio. Black Swan antennas are engineered for optimal radiation patterns in the 156–162 MHz marine band, ensuring clear transmission and reception across the standard VHF frequencies used by commercial traffic, Coast Guard, and weather services.

Anglers, charter operators, and cruising sailors will appreciate the rugged 316 stainless steel construction that stands up to salt spray, UV exposure, and years of service without degradation. Installation requires a secure mast-mount or rail-mount location above cabin structures and rigging to minimize signal shadowing—a standard practice that maximizes effective range. The included 66-foot cable eliminates the need for costly aftermarket extensions, whether you're retrofitting an older vessel or outfitting a new build. Compatibility with any marine VHF radio equipped with a standard SO-239 connector makes this antenna a direct replacement for worn or failed units on recreational and commercial craft alike.
