Qrp Magnetic Loop Antenna

The W2LI Magloop is an affordable, QRP antenna system designed for quick deployment, portable use, HOA/apartment dwellers, and excellent RX characteristics. It is compact, easily fitting into a backpack, and gives continuous transmitting coverage from 7 MHz through 14.350 MHz, covering 3 of the most popular ham bands. Magnetic loop antennas are known for their relative efficiency when compared to their physical size, and are known for being "quiet" on receive compared to many other antennas, especially dipoles and verticals. Tripod-mountable with standard 1/4-20 UNC tripod threaded mount built into base housing (tripod not included). Can also sit on any flat, stable surface - no tripod required for use. Comes with everything needed to get on the air (user supplies their own coax to connect antenna to transceiver, as well as tripod if desired). Quick, easy 2-minute assembly and break down. Durable 1 kV rated air variable capacitor, rated to 10 watts CW/PSK/JT65/RTTY, and 20 watts SSB. Continuous tuning and transmitting (1.5:1 or better SWR) coverage of the 40, 30, and 20 meter amateur bands. Continuous tuning for shortwave reception of the 49, 40, 31, 25, 22, and 19 meter bands. Outer loop made from durable LMR-400 coaxial cable. Transmit loop made from heavy gauge insulated copper wire. 6:1 reduction drive for easy fine tuning. Tuning knob electrically isolated from capacitor by nylon shaft (reduces/eliminates hand capacitance issue). I have received the loop antenna today. This is my second - I bought one a couple of years back. I have many different types. Your club makes the BEST loops. Please thank your club and the members.
