  6. What are the advantages of a shortwave rotary dipole antenna?

    A Shortwave Rotary Dipole Antenna provides high directivity and allows the user to control the directional pattern of the antenna for better signal quality. It is also suitable for use in confined spaces and can therefore be installed in residential areas or confined spaces. Finally, it allows the user to receive and transmit a wide range of shortwave frequencies.
