Alpha Antenna VHF UHF HF Vertical Antenna

The Alpha Antenna Portable Vertical Antenna is a high-performance, multi-band solution for VHF, UHF, and HF communications. Covering frequencies from 440 and 220 MHz to 2-20 meters, this resonant antenna delivers reliable operation with a legal power limit of 1200 watts PEP SSB, 600 watts CW, or 300 watts for digital modes. Compact and lightweight, it is ideal for portable setups, field deployments, and emergency communications, offering exceptional efficiency and ease of use.

The antenna includes a 17′ 9″ telescopic vertical element, two 14′ 6″ counterpoise elements with weighted ends, and a 10-inch ground spike mount, allowing for stable deployment. The design ensures low SWR across supported bands, including 1.39:1 at 440 MHz, 1.1:1 at 220 MHz, and as low as 1.02:1 on 10 meters. The adjustable whip length and deployable counterpoise wires allow fine-tuning for optimal performance on various frequencies, making it highly adaptable to different operational needs. A user-friendly guide and non-padded carrying bag with a shoulder strap are also included for convenient transport.

Deployment is straightforward: secure the mounting stake into the ground or use a tripod, fully deploy the counterpoise wires, and adjust the whip length to achieve the desired resonance. For added stability in windy conditions, the antenna can be guyed with the optional Guying Kit. Whether you're participating in portable operations, emergency response, or general amateur radio activities, this antenna delivers robust performance and versatility in a compact, easy-to-deploy package.
