10-40M and Remotely Tuned

Availability: In stock

The 3-foot-wide base Alpha Loop that covers 10 to 40 Meters is remotely tuned and rated at 100 watts PEP SSB, 50 watts CW, or 25 watts digital, which are each based on duty cycles.

This stealthy magnetic loop antenna with direct wire remote control is a complete circuit, so there is no need for radials or counterpoise. Perfect for Attic, Mast, EmComm Trailer, or anywhere when reliable and quiet communications is required in a small space.

Included

  • Matching network that is remotely controlled for tuning the antenna. 
  • Remote control with power supply.
  • 50ft of coax and 50 ft of remote-control cable
  • Inner Loop with SO239 for connecting the antenna to your equipment. 
  • Outer Loop with a circumference of 8′ 6″ that covers 10-40 meters. 
  • Mounting hardware (2- 16 inch cross supports, top & center mast mounts, and u-bolts, which brings all the components together and installs on your mast that can have a diameter up to 1.25 inches. 

Helpful Tips

  • Minimum mounting height is 1 loop diameter high (about 3 feet or higher)
  • Alpha MagLoop antennas can be placed high enough to see above and past obstacles
  • Attic installations with asphalt shingles typically see only a little more than 1 S-Unit of loss
  • Can be mounted horizontally on your mast to enhance Omnidirectional and NVIS performance
  • Total maximum tuning time from 7.0MHz to 29.7MHz is 90 seconds when the tuning speed knob is turned completely to the right
  • Tapping the left or right button allows for easy step tuning

Radiation Patterns

The Alpha Loop exhibits overlapping radiation patterns in the far field, reducing the impact of nulls when communicating with stations beyond the immediate area of operation. Additionally, it maintains a directional null through the center of the loop, which is advantageous for effectively minimizing local noise sources.

IP 65 Rating

IP Rating is provided for informational purposes only. Where the enclosure is dust-tight and protects against water jets from any direction from damaging the internal components.

Remote Tuning tips

  • When using the remote control, total maximum tuning time from 7.0MHz to 29.7MHz is 90 seconds. This is with the tuning speed knob turned completely to the right for maximum tuning speed.
  • If you don’t have any idea where you are and where the end of travel is, then pressing either the left or right button for 90 seconds resets the loop to either the lowest or highest frequency.
  • Tapping the left or right button on the magnetic loop’s remote control allows for incremental stepped tuning.
  • Make a note on whether your loop is either tuning up or down when pressing either green or red button.

    This is a great limited-space antenna. I’m making all sorts of contacts all all bands (including some decent dx).

    So glad I bought this antenna for my limited space balcony. I’m hearing stations I never could. Thank you Alpha team!
