This HF, VHF, and UHF antenna functions as both a resonant, legal-limit rigid dipole and vertical antenna. When used as a dipole, it covers 2 to 40 meters; deployed as a vertical, it operates on 10–20 meters as well as 220 MHz and 440 MHz. Included for mounting is a mount for 1.25-inch masts.

NOTE – Everything except the Optional tripod fits in the non-padded bag. Purchase the optional Large Padded Field Bag that will hold everything.OptionsDelta Loop: Provides touch free matching from 6 through 80 meters and a power rating of 250W PEP SSB, 125W CW, and 25W Digital, which is most effective from 10.1 to 54.0 MHz (30-6M), while also providing short range Near-Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS) propagation on 3.5 to 7.0 MHz (80 – 40M). Simply add BOTH the Delta Loop Element and the MIL 2.0 Match from the ‘Options’ on this page to your cart. * An external antenna tuner should be used if the antenna system is deployed over a poor ground or not placed in a clear area.Delta Loop SetupDeploymentFor temporary outdoor use, deployment can be achieved using the included Top of Mast Mount, which can be affixed to any sized pipe between 1 to 1 1/4 inch outside diameter. It is recommended that you ALWAYS guy this system. For guying options see the Mast Guying Adapter to stabilizes deployments.Two (2) DX/NVIS Tips and Tricks for the HexTenna are: To transform the V-Dipole that enhanced NVIS into an Inverted V-Dipole to enhance DX, hang it from a tree or install it upside down on a mast or hang it from a tree. NOTE –DX and NVIS will still also work, but with less effectiveness, no matter how it is installed. To improve performance, especially for DX and when deployed as a Vertical, then Multiple Raised Resonant Counterpoise Elements can be constructed in lieu of the single Counterpoise that is rolled out/in for resonance.NOTE – There is no upgrade path to the HexTenna Yagi, as it has a different design, and the hubs are physically mounted on the boom.

These whips are angled to change the naturally occurring 72-ohm dipole component to 50 ohms. This is not a ‘no tune all-band antenna’. For example, when deployed for 20 meters, it has two self-supporting telescopic whips that have a total deployed length of about 34 feet. The resonance is naturally occurring as you adjust the whips for the band you would like to operate on. Furthermore, when deployed on 40 meters, then this antenna becomes an M-Dipole that is 35 feet 9 inches on each side. The HexTenna can also be configured as a Delta Loop when the Alpha Antenna option for that configuration is purchased.We listen!We are dedicated to improving all of our Portable VHF UHF HF Antennas.

A day after purchasing the HD Tripod I couldn’t help but think I should have just purchased the HexTenna as well. To date, with my POTA friends – Mark, K9MWD and his XYL Elisha, N1MOM, the HexTenna was used to activated the Confederate Reunion Grounds State Historic Site – US-6549 – Texas with 103 Qs in the log. What a fantastic performing antenna system. It’s worth mentioning that the V-Dipole configuration of the radiating elements lend well to NVIS operations. We had more than a few surprise QSOs with other POTA activators within several hundred miles of our QTH. I highly recommend the Alpha Antenna HexTenna system. 73- Michael, W5MJG Protected_User_f6bf8e01 Verified owner February 16, 2026 2-40M 440 HF VHF UHF AntennaVerified review - view originalAbsolutely wonderful antenna.
