Review Summary For : OM0ET UltraLight Magnetic Loop Antenna
Reviews: 8MSRP: 260 EUR
Description:
This is one of the best solution for HAM's or listeners (SWL's) who don't have an access to the large space for use dipole or a long wire antenna. For those who want to operate from indoor of the house or from hotel on vacation. This loop doesn't need any grounding or counterpoise and work properly also from a very low altitudes. The main advantages of my Magloops are lightweight body, small size, quick and easy setup, also possibility to use this antenna in an indoor conditions.

Outstanding quality and customer support Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Got mine on Monday. Setup in my front yard and immediately had calls working on 20m between Lubbock, TX and the east coast on my X6100 at 10W. Reception is solid, tuning is sensitive but Paul has good instructions. Looking forward to using it on my next POTA outing.

A really well built portable Magnetic Loop Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Everything about this purchase was spot on. Paul OM0ET could not have been more helpful and replied to emails in a few hours. The delivery time was super quick as well and everything arrived in pristine condition. The attention to detail in the construction is really first class and could not be faulted. So far I've only used it indoors with a lot of success running 10W on 40m and 20m. Things should be even better once I go portable! The price of this antenna is very good and I would even call it a bargain compared to other makes with a similar spec. Even the box is well designed and is brilliant for carrying and storage .....5 stars from me!

That is a great antenna! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I was looking for a portable antenna for QRP operations and concluded a magnetic loop antenna could do the trick. After going through a number of reviews I stumbled into the OM0EC Ultralight Magnetic Loop Antenna. I checked the website (nice, clear and very informative) and dropped an email (ended up being several ones!) to Paul. The support from Paul was awesome. I thought this antenna was the best bang for the buck and I ordered it. A few days later it arrived and since then I managed to test it several times with my brand new Xiegu X6100. Gosh, this antenna is nicely done! Being myself quite a picky person I felt very relieved realising the quality build of the antenna and how quick is to assemble and put down (2 to 3 minutes, that is all). In terms of performance it has been great so far. Operating from a park in downtown Barcelona (Spain) I have made contact with Russia, Poland, Bulgaria, Germany, Lituania, you name it. That is more than 3.000 km running olnly 5 watts. Isn’t that awesome? Would I buy it again? Of course I would!!

Excellent portable, low power Antenna Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I bought this antenna in August of 2021 as my first HF antenna. The purchase experience was excellent - Paul, OM0ET, is very communicative and helpful. Despite shipping to the US from Serbia, i received the antenna in about 10 days. Build quality is outstanding, assembly is quick and easy.

I use the MLA with my Yaesu Ft-991a and Xiegu G90 with great results. I put the antenna on a camera tripod using the supplied adaptor then place it out in the yard. Running only 15 - 20 watts on FT8, i regularly work all of the US, Canada, Japan and some parts of Europe.

I use my Mini 1300 to tune the antenna - but it can be tuned by ear just as well. If find i can run a max of 15 watts on 20m - 10m. I can use up to 25w on 40m.

Works very good Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
This is my first HF loop antenna. It works without any problem. Tuning is very narrow but without any problem between 40m to 10m. The antenna get the RF out in the air - excellent results if looking at the PSK Reporter site.

Customer service from the manufacture OM0ET is excellent! Fast shipment, excellent e-mail support. The shipment box can be used as a transport box during hiking.

Highly recommended!

Great portable antenna Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Got my callsign oct 9th and wanted to have qso in HF soon. Unfortunately i couldn't get qso on my basestation, so bought this OM0ET MC-20 loop antenna.
Since i was already interested more about portable solutions, read some reviews and decided to order this antenna.
Owner was very helpful and antenna arrived with nice case. It is still in use as in storage case.
Got my very first qso in HF with this antenna and it happened to be with the OM0ET!
Been using the antenna many times so far and been happy about excellent build quality and performance. Using it now with Xiegu G90.
It packs small and also it is fast to set up.

I would recommend this antenna for QRP action easily.

MLA OM0ET type MC-20 Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have had this magnetic antenna for over 1 year. It is a lightweight, foldable and easy to assemble antenna , very suitable for amateur radio activities such as SOTA and the like. When used on digimods it is possible to make high quality DX contacts. It is very easy to tune over the entire 7 - 30 MHz range. Simply a very good MLA at an affordable price. I have been involved with magnetic antennas for quite a long time, including with the help of OK2ER, and although I have tried a number of MLAs, I like this type.

Excellent lightweight mag loop antenna Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This is a well constructed and lightweight mag loop antenna. Assembles very easily and packs well for travel. Quality materials used throughout. Puts out a good signal for a mag loop. Minimal hand-capacitance when tuning. Company's owner responds to emails promptly. I love this little antenna.
