CHA  F-LOOP 

–  The  CHA  F-LOOP  The  F-LOOP  was 

designed  with  weight,  durability,  portability, 
versatility  and  cost  in  mind.    The  unique 
craftsmanship of the CHA F-LOOP distinguishes itself 
from  the  competition.  The  antenna  is  built  to  last. 
The unit covers everything between 10M to 60M (or 
29.700MHz  to  5.300MHz)  continuously.  The 
unassembled  antenna  comes  into  a  high  quality 
MOLE tactical bag for easy carry and storage.

 

 
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 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  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  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 
the  entire  antenna  length  is  less  than  29”.  The  5 
aluminum  sections  are  hold  together  by  a  piece  of 
1/8th inch US GI MIL SPEC shock cord.  The CHA MIL 
Whip  and  a  CHA  HYBRID-MINI  Base  perfectly 
complements  the  capability  of  the  CHA  HYBRID  - 
MINI / MICRO.  
 

CHA  MIL  EXT  Whip  Extension  -

  The  CHA  MIL  EXT 

whip  has  been  designed  to  offer  maximum 
portability and performance  for those already using 
the  portable  CHA  MIL  whip  for  man-pack  antenna 
system.  This collapsible antenna extension needs to 
be  used  with  the  CHA  MIL  to  create  a  17’4”  long 
portable antenna. When combined with any HYBRID 
series antenna bases the CHA MIL EXT will operate at 
all frequencies in the 1.8-54  MHz  band without  any
