More Information
Never Remove or Loosen any of the Bolts, Washers, Nuts, or Caps on the Alpha Match.
MOUNTS – We do not recommend using a lip or magnetic mount, because losses on 40M become too great when a direct surface mounting hardware is not used. If you do end up using a magnetic mount, then the widely available Tri-Magnetic Mount should be used to increase the safety and capacitive grounding of such a mount. Just note that you will need to cut the coax off and short the braid to the center conductor of the coax for magnetic mounts in order to complete the path to ground.
Performance guarantee from the Founder of Alpha Antenna. “This antenna works very well with an external tuner on 6, 10, 12, 15, 17, & 20 meters. On 30 it works well, and you’ll make decent regional contacts on 40 meters. On 60 & 80 meters, it’s a receive only antenna, although contacts have been logged.”

This 6-40 Meter Mobile HF Antenna works great. Top quality and workmanship. My first contact was a station in France on CW, 40 meters. I use an Icom IC-706 MKIIG with a LDG remote tuner. I have the antenna mounted on a 2015 Silverado truck. I have purchased several antennas from Alpha Antennas and I am very satisfied with everything!
Sincerely

Works great, I was at the top of a mountain in Flagstaff, Arizona and sitting in my car. I worked Japan for 20 minute conversation on 10 m using QRP 5 watts
It is manifestly apparent that there is some tangible mojo working here. The signal conjuring is mysteriously supernatural, possibly involving magic.
I learned about Alpha Antenna before Quartzfest when I was sent gift certificates as door prizes which I handed out during afternoon raffles. After Quartzfest I decided it was time to upgrade my RV and truck antenna systems. Knowing now about Alpha, I looked in to their antennas and found the MOTO. After reading reviews I decided to give one a try. I mounted it on my truck on truck and was surprised to see i had absolutely S-0 noise level on my IC-706MkIIG. With this low nose level I was able to make contacts with St Petersburg Russia, St Lucia, Peru, Brazil and Argentina from the mobile in Arizona. This was with the MOTO and it’s 5′ whip. I run an MFJ 939 auto tuner with the antenna and am able to tune on all bands to between 1:1 and 1.4:1. I liked it so well on the truck that I ordered another for my RV fifth wheel trailer to replace my Hustler mobile antennas. I put a 7.5′ whip on the trailer antenna though and am getting amazing results using the MOTO with my IC-7600

Uncanny performance. Exceeded my expectations.
