The Moonraker AMPRO-20T is a premium, ultra-compact “Mini Stick” HF mobile antenna designed specifically for high-efficiency operation on the popular 20-meter (14 MHz) amateur radio band. Offering an ideal balance of compact physical dimensions and impressive RF performance, this slim mobile whip is engineered for hams who want to get active on High Frequency (HF) bands without installing large, heavy, or permanent vehicle structures. Whether you are planning a casual road trip, setting up a temporary portable station, or participating in a Parks on the Air (POTA) activation, the AMPRO-20T provides a highly convenient, plug-and-play solution.
One of the core advantages of this mini HF antenna is its lightweight, low-profile design. Weighing just 250 grams and measuring a maximum of 98 cm in length, the AMPRO-20T places minimal physical strain on its mounting base. This allows you to easily secure the antenna to your vehicle using a small magnetic mount, a trunk lip mount, or a lightweight bracket, entirely eliminating the need to drill holes into your car’s bodywork. The base features a standard heavy-duty 3/8-inch thread connection, ensuring universal compatibility with a massive variety of mobile magnetic mounts, spring bases, and fixed body mounts.
Despite its minimalist footprint, the Moonraker AMPRO-20T is engineered to perform. It is rated for a substantial maximum power handling of 200 Watts PEP, making it fully compatible with standard 100W HF transceivers without risking thermal damage to the internal loading coil. The antenna features a narrow, high-Q design with a 150 kHz bandwidth, which can be easily tuned across the 20m band by adjusting the top stainless steel whip. Get ready to experience HF mobiling anywhere, anytime with this incredibly practical, high-performance mini stick antenna.
