Great things come in small packages!

When I ordered my Alpha ProMaster Antenna, my first thought was; ‘how can a 29 inch bag hold an antenna that operates on 6-160 meters?’. I didn’t realize till the antenna was fully setup that over 127 feet of radiating elements are deployed into the air from a height of 8.5 feet. That is what obviously makes this antenna work very well!

The design behind this antenna is pretty ingenious; Mounted on top of the 8.5 foot tripod is a heavy duty vertical whip and attached at the base of the whip are four sloped elements that double as guy wires. Their Alpha Match then gets installed under the mount, which is where I believe a tuner should be installed.

I’ve had great signal reports from Australia and Greenland. Plus I am now able to get into South America, which was something I was not able to consistently do with my buddipole or transworld antennas.
