Page 7: Antenna Assembly Instructions
Antenna Assembly Instructions Please follow the steps listed below to assure proper operation and deployment. Step Assembly Locate the Selfie Stick: Extend the sections and take note of the hole on the bottom (Figure 1). This hole is where the screw on top of the grey Alpha Match box will attach. - Page 8 Step Assembly Locate the large Coaxial Loop element: Straighten this Alpha Coaxial Loop Element to form an approximate circle that is slightly larger than 3 feet in diameter. Take note of the approximate center for this run of coax. This is where the smaller Coaxial Loop element will be attached using the included fastener.
- Page 9 Step Assembly a) Use the Top Clamp on the Selfie Stick to secure the Coaxial Loop Elements at their center by removing the securing screw, inserting the coax as depicted in Figure 4. b) b) Adjust the placement of the coaxial loops so that the larger element PL-259 ends are near the Alpha Match box.

Page 10: Antenna Operation
Antenna Operation The Alpha Loop antenna has a built in tuning knob, which is black, on the Alpha Match. It is with this knob that you tune the antenna to the lowest SWR of less than 1.9:1 on any frequency from the 10 Meter through the 40 Meter band. -
Page 11: Appendix A - Optional Booster Cable
APPENDIX A – OPTIONAL BOOSTER CABLE The Alpha loop Booster Cable enables your 10-40 meter Magnetic Loop Antenna to transmit and receive on 40, 60 & 80 meters at 20 watts PEP SSB. The Alpha loop Booster Cable also increases the efficiency for 80 through 40 meters. The Booster Cable consists of a specially tuned section of Times Microwave LMR-400 coax plus a double-female SO239/UHF connector that connects to either PL259 on your 10-40 meter outer loop, resulting in a 120% increase in a double loop configuration. -
