Product Line: Alpha Antenna Portable HF MIL EmComm Basic Antennas

Alpha Antenna Portable HF MIL EmComm Basic Antennas are an ideal tactical wide-band antenna system for DX, NVIS, and EMCOMM on the 80-6m Amateur bands. Designed for mounting low to the earth, this increases ground wave radiation, reduces the threat of DF signal detection, and minimizes visibility.

Key Features:

• Touch-Free Operations: Switch bands or change frequencies without adjusting switches, jumpers, or coils. This off-center fed dipole type vertical antenna is pre-tuned when deployed over real ground, making it especially useful for individuals with mobility or sight impairments.

• NVIS for EMCOMM: The optional 60-foot NVIS element enables the HF MIL EmComm Basic Antennas for NVIS, essential for EmComm. No tuner is needed when this element is installed, though one can be used if the antenna is over poor ground or not in a clear area to achieve a lower SWR.

The Alpha Antenna Portable HF MIL EmComm Basic Antenna system is perfect for those seeking reliable and efficient portable communication capabilities in various environments.
