The CHA F-LOOP 3.0 was designed with portability, ease of use simplicity, ruggedness, and high performance in mind. Unlike any other similar antennas on the market, theCHA F-LOOP 3.0 is made with premium materials that are precisely manufactured and assembled in the USA
This is an exciting new product from Chameleon Antenna. Easily deployable HF magnetic loop antennas, also called small transmitting loops, have been routinely used for many years in military, diplomatic, and shipboard HF communication links, where robust and reliable general coverage radio communication is a necessity.
These antennas have only recently become commercially available for amateur radio. The real practical advantage of the small loop, compared to a short vertical whip tuned against earth or a full-sized vertical antenna, is the loop’s freedom from dependence on a ground plane and earth for achieving efficient operation.
In comparison, the bottom of a vertically oriented loop does not need to be more than a loop diameter above ground. There is no significant improvement in sky wave propagation performance when a small loop is installed high; all that matters is the loop is substantially clear of objects in the immediate area and oriented towards the desired direction of radiation.
Field trials of the CHA F-LOOP 3.0 demonstrated that an indoor magnetic loop antenna was only around one to two S-units lower, on both transmit and receive, than outdoor full size quarter wave vertical antenna. Remarkable for an antenna that is only less than three foot in diameter.
The magnetic loop is different from typical antennas because it emphasizes the magnetic part of the radio wave (H field) rather than the electric part (E field) of the radio wave. It also has a high Q resonance of around 17KHz on 40 meters, providing immunity from interference outside the bandpass.
The CHA F-LOOP 3.0 Antenna was designed with weight, portability, versatility, and cost in mind and is ideal for RV/camping, hotels, apartments, condominiums, homeowner’s associations, deed restrictions and CCRs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions), Shortwave Listening (SWL) and other places where it is not feasible to erect a multi-band wire or vertical antenna.
The crimp PL-259 connectors that we're using with all our RG-58 are UHF-7604L connectors from PAN-PACIFIC. They're the best and the leader in the industry.
