56 Antennas: Loop & Portable Horizon Loop Antennas Capitalizing on the popularity of HF magnetic loops, Bushcomm’s two Horizon Loops are a great solution for HF operation in a limited space. Whereas many popular magnetic loop models are receive only, these antennas actually allow tight-band transmit capability. Reception is characteristically quiet and transmission is remarkably eff icient. They feature a durable, yet lightweight, aluminum loop and come with installation hardware. Horizon Loops handle 125 watts PEP. BCM-LOOP-20 Horizon Loop, 20-10M, 29" OD ...........................................$399.99 BCM-LOOP-40 Horizon Loop, 40-10M, 54" OD ...........................................$429.99 BCM-LOOP-20 Automatic Magnetic Loop Antennas Own a stealthy loop antenna that can really handle the power. DX Engineering is proud to off er popular and proven “Loop Antennas by I3VHF”—the BABY Loop model (6.6-29.8 MHz) and MIDI Loop (3.5-14.5 MHz), both manufactured to the highest standards by Italy's Ciro Mazzoni. They’re compact, quiet, easy-to-install and ideal when you’re dealing with limited space but still want higher-power handling compared to other transmitting loops. Perfect for stealth HOA, these solidly constructed aluminum antennas include the ATU 2.0 Automatic Tuning Unit to resonate the loop throughout their wide frequency ranges: 80 through 20 meters for the MIDI Loop, 40 through 10 meters with the BABY, without any coverage gap. The updated ATU 2.0 now features a black background display with amber characters. The ICOM-CAT-CBL interface cable for the ATU 2.0 unit in BABY, MIDI, and STEALTH loop antennas connects Icom transceivers equipped with computer ports for frequency specific automatic tuning. Other brand radios are interfaced to the ATU 2.0 with RS-232 cables. For complete details, enter “MZZ” at DXEngineering.com.

Featuring an unusual shape resembling a piece of abstract art, the 6.6-29.8 MHz continuous coverage STEALTH Loop measures only 54" x 19.6" x 10.2", making it ideal for keeping out of sight while letting you work the 40 to 10 meter bands. Made from strong, powdercoated aluminum alloy, the antenna features a typical SWR of 1.3:1; 6 dB front to back ratio; 25 dB front to side ratio; 50 Ω input impedance; and 125 watt power rating. It includes the ATU 2.0 Automatic Tuning Unit to resonate the loop throughout its wide frequency range. The ATU 2.0 now features a black background display with amber characters. Weighing 15.4 pounds (without mounting brackets), the STEALTH Loop is an antenna built for high performance, without drawing the attention of your neighbors or HOA.
