Deployment

  1. Push the included Mounting Spike into the ground,
  2. Install the included jumper wire by fully extending it between the HOA Buster Match and downspout, so that it does not touch the ground. Then simply use the included clip at the end of the jumper wire to secure it into place,
  3. Then attach any length of coax to the connector on the bottom of the AutoMatch and run your coax to your equipment.

More Information

CLICK HERE for more information and FAQs, including how to test what happens when multiple gutters are connected.
Never Loosen any of the Bolts, Washers, Nuts, or Caps on the HOA Buster’s match. Otherwise, you’ll need an impact wrench to tighten them. 

Options

An optional 60-foot end-fed HF antenna element activates 10 through 80 Meters and is used instead of a gutter. This is very useful if you are deployed on a beach, mountain, or in a park. MORE INFORMATION

    Great antenna that keeps the wife happy. I have made contacts on 10m to Brazil and Argentina. It’s been a great first HF antenna so far. The product shipped quickly and was easy to hook up.

    I live in an HOA that prohibits outdoor antennae. I have limited space in the attic crawl space over my garage. So I gave the HOA Buster a try. It works as advertised. I’ve made contacts on every band between 10 and 20 meters. I get surprised reactions and good signal reports on every band from 20 to 30 meters and generated a lot of interest. I even broke through a pile-up to DX with Ireland from Florida. I can receive on 40 meters but don’t propagate sufficiently to make contacts, but that’s likely a factor of my particular gutter system and house construction. The HOA Buster matching transformer is magical, working without a tuner—and prefers it that way. Like other Alpha products I own, it’s well engineered and constructed. I recommend it to everyone in an HOA community and anyone who wants the WARC bands.

    A quality product that works well in an HOA environment.

Q & A

Ask a question
What is the value of the inductor used with this system? store manager asked on December 13, 2024

Instead of focusing on the values of the components used to build this system, we publish the values from the analyzers that were used to Build and Optimize this system. While the inductor for this system was being Built and Optimized, the values for the bands it is designed for were simultaneously monitored using both RigExpert and AIM analyzers. During the BUILD process, the system was connected to one set of gutters, and physical changes were made to the inductor till the best values were presented on the analyzers. During the OPTIMIZATION process the system was moved/connected to the gutters on multiple homes, and physical changes were again made to the inductor till the best values were presented on the analyzers for all the home's gutters it was attached to. We hope you enjoy the results of this finely tuned system!

What gauge wire would you recommend for connecting separate sections of gutter? I have three individual sections (South, East, and West facing sections) that I would like to connect together for use with the HOA Buster I just purchased. Thank you! Marc Sacco asked on March 30, 2024

The minimum gauge wire to form a jumper is 16 AWG that is stranded.

Is it ok to connect additional gutters with a wire? Q A asked on December 3, 2023

THIS IS MOST OFTEN A GOOD THING, BUT ONLY AN ANTENNA ANALYZER AND A TEST USING WSPR WILL SHOW IF YOU MADE IMPROVEMENTS.
