First Class! Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I have several quality antennas from Alpha Antenna. This is my latest - a 13' vertical that packs in 16" bag.

After trying it in my front yard for several weeks, I took it camping twice. It sets up quicker than my tent. It is very quiet and has low SWR across the bands. A small LDG tuner gets it down even lower, but not really necessary. I was really surprised and pleased to hear all those stations clearly that I couldn't hear at home with a small beam antenna.

I really like how small it packs up in one bag, including with the HF enhancement kit and how light weight it is. I have difficulties getting a wire antenna up in some of our spruce trees. This is the answer. It will certainly be part of my canoeing package next summer.

Hmmm, perhaps backpacking too. I have been working on a small photo backpack bag for the radios and antenna. In any case, it hardly takes any space for traveling by small car or airplane.

I recently made an adapter so that I can use the 13'whip with my Alpha MOTO mobile antenna when stationary. I can change from the 5' stainless whip quickly.

Well Done! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Wow! My first contact with the Alpha EzMilitary antenna was busting through a pileup for W1AW/0 in Missouri. Very impressive! It went up quickly and easily. The build quality is solid and clean; and the jaw clamp is very versatile which is just what I needed.

After a bit of shopping around for a simple and rugged portable antenna, I decided the Alpha EzMilitary was the one for me. Right out of the bag I was impressed with this antenna system and pleased with my decision.

Customer service is unbeatable! The owner took the time to send personal emails regarding questions I had which made the transaction easy and pleasant.

This Alpha EzMilitary antenna rocks! Keep up the great work Steve!

Just Wow! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I bought this antenna at Dayton 2014. I took it out and attached the supplied jaw clamp to one of my tripods. Connected everything and my first contact was with Indy 500 Speedway Special Event station. The Second was with a Italian station. Great antenna....don't have to change taps either. Just wonderful customer service also with Steve.

SURPRISED Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I set the antenna up in 5 minutes. First contact Brazil from the backyard at 6.5 feet. I continued with numerous contacts across the country. This antenna is amazing and does everything as advertised with the bonus of being able to tune 80 meters with an off board tuner and no counteropoise. I must mention that the tripod was damaged upon delivery. I contacted customer service and received a brand new one two days later no questions asked. Now thats customer service you no longer see these days!! I highly recommend this portable antenna!!!

EXCELLENT ANTENNA Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
OUT OF THE BOX, TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES TO DEPLOY. FIRST CONTACT WAS RT5A IN RUSSIA. 17M ON A 5/7 ON 100 WATTS, OE3MXA AUSTRIA, 12M ON A 5/5. ITS UP AT ABOUT 14 FEET. WHAT A FANTASTIC PORTABLE ANTENNA. AGAIN, ALPHA ANTENNA HAS DONE IT AGAIN. YOU CAN DEPLOY IT ANYWHERE. THE CRAB CLAW MOUNT IS FANTASTIC, AND WILL CLAMP ONTO ANYTHING UP TO 2 INCHES

What's up with these Alpha Antennas!?! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I've the ProMaster Sr from these guys and it is pretty amazing, but needed (ahem...wanted) a lighter solution for back packing. I bought this antenna based upon the single review, and seriously! This thing rocks!! This thing is so solid, I can't imagine ever having to replace ANY of the parts! Trust it as your go to antenna, I do. The performance of this antenna is outstanding. What is up with these Alpha Antennas!?! Simply put, they bust pile ups, bring home the DX, and well...what are you waiting for? Go buy one...you'll love the antenna and by the way, the service from these guys is down home good. Can't wait to try their magnetic Alpha Loop, MOTO, or some satellite on the Sky system!

Portable vertical that works DX like nobody's business Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I used this antenna while on holiday. O-M-G!!! I was working DX like crazy. Busted a phone pileup for Hong Kong on the first try. Asia, Europe, Hawaii... the list goes on and on. Signals were booming in.

And as for setting it up, it's a breeze. Virtually idiot proof. Literally takes minutes. Nice that the counterpoise act as guys. Just plug and play.

If you are looking for a portable antenna that is easily stowable, can be set up and torn down simply and quickly, plus delivers a Q5 performance, your search is over. The Ez-Military Deployment System is for you.
