CHA SKYLOOP

 - The CHA SKYLOOP is a 250' full wave 

loop  antenna  cut  for  80M.  With  the  help  of  an 
antenna  tuner,  the  CHA  SKYLOOP  will  cover  all  the 
bands between 80M and 6M. 
 

CHA WINDOM 40

 – The CHA WINDOM 40 Antenna is 

designed for 40, 20, and 10 meters.  Amateur Bands 
from 60 through 10 meters can be operated using an 
antenna  tuner.  Built  with  the  portable  operator  in 
mind,  it  is  very  light  weight,  easy  to  set  up,  and 
comes with a military-style pouch. 
 

CHA  EMCOMM  II

  -  The  CHA  EMCOMM  II  Antenna 

has  been  specially  designed  for  backup  emergency 
HF  system  or  permanent  installation.  The  integral 
broadband  impedance  matching  network  allows 
broadband antenna tuning. 
 

CHA  HYBRID  Vehicular  Base

  -  The  CHA  HYBRID 

Vehicular  Base  is  designed  to  enhance  the 
capabilities  of  the  common  HF  radio  application  by 
allowing faster tuning operation across the HF bands 
including MARS/CAP frequencies. This antenna base 
has  an  integral  broadband  impedance  matching 
network  allowing  broadband  antenna  tuning.  The 
CHA  HYBRID  can  be  used  mobile  with  the  CHA  V1L 
and  V2L  mobile  antennas  or  stationary  with  the 
provided 30' wire. 
 

CHA  V1  Mobile  Antenna

  -  The  CHA  V1  antenna  is 

our  first  and  classic  broadband  HF  mobile  antenna 
that  we  designed.  It  has  been  updated  from 
fiberglass to 7075 alloy and stainless steel. 
 

CHA V1L Mobile Antenna

 - The CHA V1L antenna is a 

rugged  multiband  HF  mobile  antenna  that  can  be 
erected in a minimum of time and space. 
 

CHA V2L Mobile Antenna

 - The CHA V2L is a rugged 

multiband HF antenna designed for smaller vehicles. 

 

CHA  VHF/UHF  Magnetic  Mount  Mobile  Antenna

  - 

The  CHA  VHF/UHF  is  a  simple  but  great  dual  band 
antenna for 2M and 70CM. 
 

CHA Hybrid Mini – Portable HF Antenna Base - 

The 

CHA HYBRID-MINI Base is the portable version of the 
regular HYBRID. The unit can be differentiated by the 
color  of  the  lid  and  the  base  connector,  which  is 
black  instead  of  gray.  The  HYBRID-MINI  is  also 
smaller  and  about  50%  lighter  than  the  regular 
HYBRID.  An  external  antenna  tuner  is  required  to 
provide  a  low  VSWR.  The  connector  provided  with 
the  antenna  is  a  SO-239  sealed.  The  entire  unit  is 
also  waterproof.    The  HYBRID-MINI  will  serve  as 
impedance 

transformer 

matching 

network 

(transformer  5:1)  and  will  greatly  reduce  the  VSWR 
at the load for the following antennas: V1, V1L, V2L 
and MIL. 
 

CHA Hybrid Micro - Portable HF Antenna Base -  

The  CHA  HYBRID-MICRO  is  a  lightweight  highly 
portable  broadband  antenna  system  designed  to 
offer  maximum  portability  and  performance.  The 
antenna  weights  about  1  lb.  The  antenna  will 
operate  at  all  frequencies  in  the  1.8-54  MHz  band 
without any adjustment with most  modern external 
antenna  tuners.  No  masts  or  guying  are  required. 
The  antenna  will  work  successfully  supported  by 
trees, masts, the tops of vehicles or any convenient 
object  or  structure.  The  antenna  works  most 
effectively when elevated at a reasonable height. 
 

CHA  MIL  Whip

  -  The  CHA  MIL  whip  is  a  broadband 

(28  to  54  MHz)  monopole  antenna  designed  for 
portable  or  man-pack  radios  requiring  compact  but 
rugged  antenna  systems.    Its  design  has  been 
borrowed  from  similar  antennas  utilized  by  many 
armies all over the world. The CHA MIL is very hardy, 
sturdy and portable (being collapsible). Un-mounted
