Magnetic Loop MagLoop Antenna
The Best Portable or Base MagLoop Magnetic Loop Antenna is the loop that can handle 100 watts.
The Portable or Base HF 10-80M Alpha Magnetic Loop MagLoop that has an option for a 6M VHF UHF 2M & 440MHz loop antenna is more Efficient and Effective than any other loop and offer transmit and receive from 3.5 to 29.7 MHz plus 50-54MHZ, 144-148MHz and 420-450MHz.
How did we enable support of frequencies down to 80 Meters? By creating a total outer loop length of over 21 feet in a double loop configuration with the Booster Cable installed inline and in series with the Default Outer Loop, the Alpha MagLoop will enable 20W PEP SSB on 40/60/80 Meters.
How did we accomplish 100W power levels? We perfected each component and thus the antenna system as a whole, which was the secret to enabling our magnetic loop to handle 100 Watts PEP SSB on 10-40 Meters and 6M VHF UHF.
How did we enable support for VHF UHF? Our antenna engineers designed our loop antenna with an option to achieve resonance on 50-54MHz, 420-450MHz, and 144-148MHz.
More EFFECTIVE & EFFICIENT than any other manufactured MagLoop, as the Alpha Loop is:
- More EFFECTIVE at getting your signal across on 10 to 40 meters using 100 watts PEP SSB = You Will Be Heard!
- More EFFICIENT on 40-80 meters using an outer loop that is over 21+ feet providing the most skin effect in a double loop configuration, which squares efficiency = You Will Hear & Be Heard!
Description:
This antenna is a small (transmitting) Magnetic Loop MagLoop, so there are no taps on coils and no counterpoise wires needed. It has a built-in tuner with a 6:1 reduction drive that allows you to easily match the antenna for transmit and receive from 7 MHz to 29.7 MHz plus 50-54MHz, 144-148MHz, and 420-450MHz or 3.5 MHz to 7 MHz when the Booster Cable is installed. Also, as portable or base magnetic loops or MagLoops are typically mounted close to the ground, we have designed these to have an oval shape with shallower sidelobes. This enables the antenna to project more of its signal skyward, instead of off the side towards objects that are often close to the antenna. Additionally, high noise rejection is also one of the favorite features of this antenna for many operators in RFI prone environments.
At 100W PEP SSB, the Alpha Magnetic Loop MagLoop enables the Alpha Loop to be heard and be more Effective than any other manufactured portable or base loop. Other loops just can’t take the power that is often needed to break through or ‘make the trip’, but instead they try ‘compensating’ for lack of design, or they limit you to sub-par performance with 10 watts CW (25 watts SSB) or less of power handling capabilities.
When the Booster Cable is installed, a double loop is formed that narrows bandwidth, which is proof of increased efficiency. The outer loop then too has over 21 feet in total length, which results in more surface area for increased skin effect, and this also increases efficiency. The result of both of these design features is an antenna that that is more Efficient than any other manufactured loop on 40, 60, 75 & 80 meters.
