Love it! Super convenient HF antenna and effective for portable use.

One of the best things about this antenna is that it’s super easy to set up if you want to go out to the park and set up portable. Having said that, I use it for my regular station use because of the limitations of our rental arrangement.

Normally I keep it outside on our back porch, but have also found it very effective for indoor use, working FT8 contacts even on 80 meters!

One thing to note with mag loop antennas and this one is no exception — tuning is critical for effectiveness and the very high Q tuning sometimes takes some patience to get right. That means in practice you’ll tend to park on one band for a while unless you like to spend lots of time tuning.

I should also add that Alpha support is TERRIFIC, communication is superb and they are more than happy to answer random questions after the sale. A++
