ECO Antenne Closed
World-wide famous antenna manufacturer has closed it’s business on 1st decembrer 2010.
This is what I’ve learned by some hams, that have been in touch with Mr. Sergio Berutti formerly Eco Antenne owner.
Causes are not public domain, but everyone suspect has been due to economic factors.
Eco Antenne, has affirmed in the market for it’s economic product line, and for a wide range of antenna product line, allowing many hams to buy HF VHF UHF antennas at affordable prices.
Many dealers have still lot’s of antennas in stock, but will be the last ones. Website is down since a couple of weeks.
I’ve never owned an Eco Antenna, but at least here in Italy, Eco Antennas are very popular.
Good Bye Eco Antenne.
Hi. What a real shame. I am currently using the Eco Antennas 7 Element Yagi for 144Mhz. The design and quality is first class. I have been trying to locate a 70Cms beam from Eco,and have not been able to do so, now I can see why.Sad!!.
I have been looking for a well-made two element delta loop for 10/11m and can’t find one anywhere, even secondhand. Help Please!
Could anybody help me with technical data of ECO tribander? I need inner diameter (or shiled thikness)of director and reflector (the part closest to the boom)? Both elements are broken and presently I’m not able to put it down. When it will be possible I want to be ready for repair.
Thanks in advance

I’ve bought last year the 40m grounplane antenne. Compared to the other antennas I have seen from Ecoantenne, this one was lousy. No more inox-steel, so the support started to rust within weeks. It seems, it was one of the last antennas manufactured.
Hopefully, the other cheaper manufactures will survive the chrises.

Good working antennas for a fair price. I own three and they do their job well. I´m sad to hear of the end of this factory. Especially the DX-11 is an astonishing antenna.
