Alpha MIL 2.0 is a versatile portable HF antenna system capable of handling 250W PEP SSB, 125W CW, or 25W digital modes. With its various deployment options, it adapts to different environments and communication needs.

Tripod/Mast: Mount the antenna on a tripod or mast for elevated operation, enhancing DX capabilities and providing lower NVIS.
Standing L: This configuration is ideal for quick and easy setup. Simply press the spike into the ground, screw the match onto the mount, and install the wire elements.
Manpack: For portable operation, remove the spike from the mount and attach it to a backpack. Deploy the antenna by pulling out the wire elements and securing them with stakes.

DESCRIPTION

The MIL 2.0 Antenna is a multi-purpose portable HF system rated at 250W PEP SSB, 125W CW, or 25W digital modes.

DEPLOYMENTS

Tripod/Mast

Standing L

Manpack

Connect a user supplied 60-foot long wire* to the top of the match for the following configurations:

 LoG (Loop on Ground) - Lay the wire element in a semi-square shape on the ground for a low noise receive antenna.

 Vertical Loop or Horizontal Loop - Use optional supports to deploy the wire element into a semi-square shape.

 EFHW Dipole - Deploy the wire element either sloped or horizontally.

 Directionally sloped - Deploy the wire element and slope it in the direction you want your signal to go.

 End-fed Inverted L or Inverted V - Deploy the 60’ wire in an Inverted L or V shape using optional supports.

* The vertical and the 25’ wire element are not to be used when your optional 60-foot wire element is used.

 Press Spike & Mount

into the soil.

 Screw the match onto

the mount.

 Install the 25’ wire

element onto top NVIS

of the Match.

 Install the MIL 2.0

whip on top of the

match.

 Pull the wire element

tight and press its

stake into the soil.

 Install the 25' wire on the

bottom of the match to

the Ground bolt.

 Deploy the 25' wire out

any hole on the bag so it is

trailing behind.

 Install whip on top of the

match and deploy it from

hole by sling.

 Remove the spike from the mount and install the

mount on a tripod or mast of less than 1.25” O.D.

 Install the Match on the Mount, then the 8’ wire

on the Ground and the 25’ wire on top NVIS of the.

 Install the MIL 2.0 whip on top of the Match.

 Deploy your mast or tripod to at a height of 5 feet

or more. (Higher enhances DX and lower NVIS.)

 Pull the 8’ & 25’ elements out in opposite

directions so they are not laying on the ground,

then press their stakes into the soil. Take care to

ensure that they do not run above the coax.

NOTE – Signal will launch away from NVIS element.
