Description

At 3.5 and 18 MHz, operation is slightly compromising. At 7, 10 and 14 MHz the antenna offers very good results even in DX mode. MLA-V KIT is the newest of the series developed by OK2ER. It is preferable for /m and /mm operation, but it works well in any mode. It can be completely disasssembled and reassembled anywhere where transporting the assembled MLA-C would be impossible. Therefore it is ideal in crowded lofts with a limited access.

The MLA-V (V as „veranda“ or a patio) is a new antenna of the series of magnetic loop antennas from the workshop of OK2ER.

MLA-V is a magnetic loop antenna for five (six) short-wave ham bands, 3.5 MHz, 5.3 MHz, 7 MHz, 10 MHz and 14 MHz (18 MHz). An important point is that contrary to other competing MLAs, the MLA-V can be used with 100 W RF input and needs no control cable. It is remotely tuned via the coaxial cable.

Like in other pioneer designs (Switching loop turns) to allow using a MLA-M over several short-wave ham bands, MLA-V covers also several bands which works virtually against laws of physics.

MLA-V is of course not an equivalent to a full-size 3 el. Yagi but without any doubt this tiny antenna (1.3 x 1.3 x 0.7 meter) can be well used during a vacation without explaining to curious onlookers that the antenna is not a worthless „strangeness and hobby“ of a Czech tourist.
With the MLA-V you will not disturb the public by hanging provisional wire antennas that actually would not function better than this new MLA-V. You can inform others that your MLA-V is a mobile laundry dryer, see the photo.

In MLA-V design, OK2ER applied his extensive experience learned in this special antenna field (magnetic loop antennas) over long years since 2009.
