I live in a neighborhood with antenna restrictions. I have been using version 1 of the Alpha Antenna HOA Buster for just over a year and am a very satisfied customer. Using the HOA Buster with my antenna tuner, I’ve already worked 143 countries on 6 through 160 meters using FT8 (mostly), CW and SSB.

I first tried the one-story longer run of the rain gutters on my house, and while the results were better than the slinky dipole in my attic, this section was pretty hard of hearing. I was able to quickly move the HOA Buster to the other section of gutters with a downspout with a height of about 28 feet that connects to a 36-foot-long horizontal section, resulting in an inverted L configuration. The HOA Buster worked like magic on this section and my rig lit up with DX.

I met and chatted with the founder of Alpha Antenna in Dayton this year and have seen him interact frequently with customers on the “Raingutter HF Antenna” group on Facebook. I am impressed with both him and the HOA Buster!
