Horizon loop 20. Product description, assembly and operation
The Horizon Loop 20 is an all aluminium construction "magnetic loop" style antenna. It is designed for
limited space applications, receive only and tight band TX / RX. The antenna is characteristically quiet
on receive and highly efficient on transmit. Please take time during the assembly and set up of this
antenna to get the best performance from it.
SAFETY: Do not allow animals, children etc to touch the loop while transmitting.
Specifications
* 10m ~ 20m frequency range
* 125w PEP power rating. DO NOT exceed or "flash over" may occur within the capacitor
* Approx 73cm width, 85cm height @ 1.4kg
Parts List
* 2x loop halves
* 2 x loop stands
* 1 x gamma matching bar
* 1 x capacitive tuning slide
* 2 x stand insulators

STEP 1
Undo the two M5 bolts near the SO239 connector, slide loop half in and tighten 8mm nuts. Do not over
tighten.
STEP 2
Position the gamma bar as shown in the below picture. It is only necessary to finger tighten at this point.
