Nice sloper
"haven’t used it yet, just came a couple hours ago. it like to be well made and of solid design, as you would expect. nice bit of kit to add to my POTA gear."
LZ SLOPER WIRE · Wire Antennas
A wire radiator or wire antenna system for documented horizontal, sloping, inverted-V, inverted-L, dipole, or NVIS use.
Why operators make room for it
Put useful wire in the air without carrying a permanent tower
A field site may offer height, distance, or concealment—but rarely all three in exactly the right places.
Introducing the CHA LZ Sloper Wire , a high-performance Lazy Sloper antenna designed to enhance your CHA SS17 vertical antenna system. This innovative product is meticulously crafted to provide superior signal radiation and reception, making it an essential addition for amateur radio enthusiasts seeking optimal performance.
That flexibility gives an operator a credible path from a compact field kit to a full-size radiator, while the official configuration still governs feedpoint, support, tuning, and safety choices.

- Limitations
- Never mount this, or any other antenna near power lines or utility wires!
- Never trust insulation to protect you.
- Never operate this antenna where people could be subjected to high levels of RF exposure, especially above 10 watts or above 14 MHz.
- Never use this antenna near RF sensitive medical devices, such as pacemakers.
- Expansion options
Universal Guying System
What an operator can do
- Select a documented horizontal, sloping, inverted-V, inverted-L, dipole, or NVIS arrangement.
- Raise the wire with a support that satisfies the antenna guide's height, load, insulation, and guying limits.
- Keep balanced dipole configurations symmetrical and do not add radial or counterpoise accessories unless the guide explicitly requires them.
Balanced-system rule: Do not add radial or counterpoise accessories to a dipole configuration unless the official guide explicitly requires them.
Complete product details
Introducing the CHA LZ Sloper Wire, a high-performance Lazy Sloper antenna designed to enhance your CHA SS17 vertical antenna system. This innovative product is meticulously crafted to provide superior signal radiation and reception, making it an essential addition for amateur radio enthusiasts seeking optimal performance.
Key Features:
Premium Construction:
- The CHA LZ Sloper Wire is 60 feet long, constructed from 26 gauge braided copper wire, ensuring excellent conductivity and durability. Reinforced with KEVLAR fibers, this wire offers exceptional strength and flexibility, capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions. The wire is encased in a PTFE sleeve, providing robust protection against wear and tear while maintaining flexibility.
Easy Installation:
- Equipped with a brass alligator clip, the CHA LZ Sloper Wire allows for quick and effortless attachment to your existing antenna system. This feature ensures a secure connection and simplifies the setup process, making it ideal for both permanent and temporary installations.
Benefits:
Enhanced Signal Radiation and Reception:
- The sloper configuration of the CHA LZ Sloper Wire significantly improves the radiation pattern of the CHA SS17 vertical antenna. By providing a low take-off angle, this setup is particularly advantageous for DX (long-distance) communication, ensuring stronger and clearer signals over vast distances.
Broadbanding Effects:
- The addition of the sloper wire helps to broaden the bandwidth of your antenna system, making it more effective across a wide range of frequencies. This is especially beneficial for amateur radio operators who need to operate across multiple bands without frequent adjustments.
Improved Efficiency:
- When used in conjunction with the CHA HYBRID-MINI or CHA HYBRID-MICRO (5:1 UNUN), the CHA LZ Sloper Wire aids in better impedance matching. This reduces the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR), minimizing power loss and ensuring that more of your transmitted power is radiated by the antenna.
Optimal Grounding:
- Grounded with the CHA SPIKE MOUNT, the antenna system benefits from a solid grounding solution. This enhances the overall efficiency of the antenna and improves signal clarity by reducing noise levels.
Ease of Deployment:
- The sloper configuration of the CHA LZ Sloper Wire is designed for easy deployment. Whether you are setting up in a permanent location or need a portable solution for field operations, the wire can be quickly installed over trees, buildings, or other supports, providing flexibility and convenience.
Directional Properties:
- The sloper wire configuration offers some directional properties, allowing you to focus the radiation pattern towards desired directions. This feature can be particularly useful in specific communication scenarios where directional transmission and reception are required.
Summary:
The CHA LZ Sloper Wire is an indispensable accessory for the CHA SS17 vertical antenna system, delivering improved signal performance, enhanced efficiency, and broad operational flexibility. Its robust construction, ease of installation, and superior engineering make it the perfect choice for amateur radio operators looking to achieve optimal communication capabilities. Upgrade your antenna system with the CHA LZ Sloper Wire and experience the difference in your radio communications.
