Full-size horizontal HF loop
A 286 ft full-wave horizontal loop intended for four-support base or field installations.
Built for a real operating goal
Turn available property into a full-size, low-noise multiband HF loop
CHA SKYLOOP 2.0 is for stations with the room and support plan to use a complete 286-foot horizontal wire loop rather than compromise around a small footprint.
Suspended from four suitable supports, it creates a substantial 80-meter-class loop for base, camp, shortwave-listening, and emergency installations. Plan the site, height, feed line, choke, and weatherproofing as carefully as the antenna itself; this is a large installation, not a compact portable loop.
- Frequency3.5–54 MHz with tuner
- Loop perimeter286 ft; approximately 71.5 ft per side in the reference square
- Recommended height30–40 ft; lower deployment reduces performance
- Power500 W SSB, 250 W CW, 100 W high-duty-cycle modes

Included equipment and documented configurations
Documented configurations
- Four-support horizontal loop
- Reference square with supports approximately 72 ft apart
- Site-shaped loop only within guide limits
Configuration boundary: This is not a compact balcony loop. Plan roughly 72 ft between four supports, at least 25 ft of coax, and a feed-point RFI choke or feed line with integrated choke.
