As 2026 begins and 2025 comes to a close, we want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared this year with a look at the future. Your trust, feedback, and enthusiasm have fueled our mission to deliver innovative, high-performance antenna solutions for amateur radio operators, emergency responders, and communication enthusiasts worldwide.
✨ 2025 Highlights & Accomplishments
- Launch of the Alpha M.A.R.A. Antenna Platform – This year’s flagship release, the Alpha Modular Antenna Radio Array or M.A.R.A., redefined what a portable antenna can be. Designed for operators who demand both rugged durability and exceptional performance, the M.A.R.A. features rapid deployment capability, enhanced frequency agility, and a compact form factor that makes it perfect for field operations, emergency setups, and DXpeditions.
- Expanded Global Reach – We’re proud to have shipped Alpha Antenna products with zero shipping costs on orders greater than $250 to customers in 42 countries during 2025—our widest reach yet. From remote islands to bustling cities, our antennas have been part of countless QSOs, contests, and emergency communications efforts.
- Customer-Driven Upgrades – Your feedback inspired us to integrate quick-tune technology into our EmComm Systems, reduce setup time by 40% and make field expedient adjustments easier than ever. This wasn’t just an upgrade—it was a performance enhancement that was based upon the needs you shared with us.
- Sustainability Milestone – Transitioned 80% of our packaging and packing materials to eco-friendly materials while increasing product protection.
🚀 Looking Ahead to 2026
While we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished, we’re even more excited about what’s next. Here’s a preview of what’s coming in 2026:
- Alpha MiniLoop™ Technology – A new 10-inch diameter, 6 to 20-meter element for the VHF UHF HF EmComm Loop.
- Next-Gen Lightweight Materials – Cutting antenna weight by up to 30% while increasing rugged durability with carbon fiber infused polymers.
- Expanded Training & Resources – Launching an online Alpha Academy with Setup Guides, Pro-tips, and Live Q&A sessions.
- Community Field Days – Hosting hands-on events at the newly opened Alpha Antenna P.O.T.A. park and across the U.S. teaching people how to connect, learn, and operate together.
