Analysis
Deployment
- Push the included Mounting Spike into the ground,
- 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,
- Then attach any length of coax to the connector on the bottom of the AutoMatch and run your coax to your equipment.

More Information

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.
It works — Have made contacts in Fl and other states.
