Alpha Antenna Base HF EmComm Antenna

The Tactical Wide-Band Antenna is a versatile and efficient solution for DX NVIS and EMCOMM broadband communications. Operating across 1.6 to 30 MHz, it covers the full spectrum of HF amateur radio bands with a balanced omni-directional radiation pattern. Designed for stealth and low visibility, the antenna is mounted close to the ground to reduce ground-wave radiation and minimize the risk of signal detection or visual identification. Its low-noise reception and tuner-free operation make it ideal for secure broadband communications, including encrypted and unencrypted spread-spectrum signals.

With a lightweight design of under 5kg, the antenna is deployable by a single person in less than 10 minutes, ensuring quick and efficient setup during critical missions. Supporting all voice, continuous wave, and digital modes—including ALE (Automatic Link Establishment)—it delivers impressive transmit capabilities of up to 250 watts PEP SSB, 125 watts CW, and 25 watts for digital modes. The included telescopic vertical element and NVIS guying elements ensure stable operation and consistent performance, while horizontal and vertical polarization options maximize versatility for diverse communication needs.

The antenna package includes heavy-duty mounting hardware, a self-supporting telescopic vertical element, and four 35-foot NVIS guying elements, along with a grounded counterpoise wire and ground stake. With a compact footprint of 70 x 70 feet and a height of 23 feet, it balances portability with performance. Whether used for emergency communication, tactical operations, or DXing, this antenna is a reliable and adaptable tool for operators who demand both precision and speed in the field.
