Introduction
Thank you for your support of the Alpha Antenna line. We hope that you will enjoy using this product, as we
continue to receive written testimonials from Amateur Radio Operators (Hams) on how easy the Alpha
Antenna systems are to deploy, how well they work, and how each antenna system that is deployed has made
each person’s operating experiences positive and enduring.
The Alpha Antenna is a Civilian Military system that is easy to deploy, has acceptable SWRs, and is extremely
durable. The antenna system is composed of building blocks that used to construct a large variety of
deployable solutions. No supports are necessary to deploy the systems, however, several varieties of
deployment options exists if natural supports are available. If space or privacy is a premium, the Alpha
Antenna is deployable for covert operations. This antenna is so efficient that it is also deployable indoors, from
a porch or balcony.
