6-20 meter portable magnetic loop antenna that is perfect for a Stealth or Technician Class operator who needs a system that can modularly expand into the General and Advanced bands.Out of the box, the MagLoop enables 6 through 20 meters to be tuned for TX/RX with the following efficiencies when compared to a resonant dipole installed 1/2 wavelength high. Later, you just add the 15-40M option to expand your operating privileges along with the efficiency of this antenna.Use our Make an Offer Program and Click this button if you can’t afford full price.Make An Offer (Without Options)EfficiencyWith a total circumference of 2.18055 Feet, this magnetic loop antenna with a 0.32-inch conductor diameter exhibits the following calculated efficiencies.Efficiency ChartCenter Frequency of each BandS-Units loss from a resonant dipole installed at 1/2 wavelengthAntenna Efficiency6M, 52MHz0.62(-3.7 dB below 100%)10M, 28.85MHz1.87(-11.2 dB below 100%)12M, 24.94MHz2.22(-13.3 dB below 100%)15M, 21.225MHz2.60(-15.6 dB below 100%)17M, 18.118MHz3.00(-18.0 dB below 100%)20M, 14.175MHz3.62(-21.7 dB below 100%)REFERENCE CALCULATOR Small Transmitting Loop Antenna Calculator • 66pacific.comFor higher efficiencies on 15 to 40 meters, use the 100W VHF UHF HF EmComm MagLoop Antenna.Usage Setup: Deployable in 60 seconds. Modes: This Stealth MagLoop is especially useful on 6-20 meters for all-mode High-Q listening & weak signal TX operations for SSB, CW, and Digital modes. Usage Scenario: Placement on a table or desk inside a Covert Emergency Response Vehicle, Office, Apartment, Camper, Tent, or anywhere else where space is limited.ResultsThe following signal reports are SSB contacts made from California over a 2-hour period on 20-meters and 10-meters:Band20 MetersSignal ReportCall SignLocation5/3N6FCMCalifornia5/3KA6NPDCalifornia3/3KC7DTRUtah5/2N6WLCalifornia5/5KJ7RPLOregon4/3KK7MIEIdaho5/4W2AJGArizona5/5KG7MANOregon5/1N6WLCalifornia3/2W3LBYOregon2/3KK7OJKWashington4/3W7NFROregon5/5K7KNBOregon4.3/3.2AVERAGE SIGNAL REPORTBand20 MetersSignal ReportCall SignLocation5/5KD9REGIndiana5/5K0MJKansas5/3KC5NVZTexas5/3KS0MIKKansas5/3K0PJRKansas5/3.8AVERAGE SIGNAL REPORTSpecificationsParameters to FollowSpecifications of the Antenna.Operating ParametersMAXIMUM POWER: 50 Watts PEP SSB, 25 Watts CW, 10 Watts Digital.FREQUENCY COVERAGE: 54MHz to 14MHz (6 Meters to 20 Meters).IMPEDANCE: 50 ohms.Usage ParametersDIRECTIONALITY: Semi-DirectionalPURPOSE: NVIS & DXPhysical ParametersSIZE: 10-inch diameterMOUNT: Female 5/8-11″IP RATING: IP-53CONNECTOR: 50-ohm Female BNCUpgradable for Technician Class to General Class licensees The logs and math show that this loop is most efficient on 6-meters and 10-meters. These bands are what Technician Class license holders are licensed to transmit on. This antenna also has good receive on 12, 15, 17, 20 meters, so Technicians can also listen in on those bands till they get their General License. This MPAS loop is upgradable from a Technician Class operator to the General Class with the purchase of the EmComm Loop Mast and Inner/Outer Loop for VHF, UHF, & 15-40 Meters add-on.We ListenWe are dedicated to improving all of our Portable VHF UHF HF Antennas.
