The Moonraker Whizz Loop V2 is a highly compact, portable magnetic loop antenna engineered specifically for QRP (low power) transceivers when operating space is limited. Covering an expanded frequency range from the 40-meter band up to the 10-meter band (7–30 MHz), this upgraded V2 model allows radio operators to enjoy HF communications where traditional wire antennas are impractical. It is the perfect companion for portable transceivers such as the Yaesu FT-817ND, FT-818, or similar ultra-portable rigs, making it an essential addition to your field-day or travel kit.
With a streamlined width of just 40cm, the Whizz Loop V2 is remarkably easy to transport and quick to deploy. Its pocket-sized design makes it incredibly handy for traveling, hiking, and hotel-room operations, yet it is capable of delivering surprising reception and transmission results when used indoors. The antenna mounts directly to your radio equipment or antenna tuner via a standard, heavy-duty PL259 male connector, establishing a stable physical and RF connection without the need for complex mounting brackets or heavy mast supports.
Built for low-power operation, the Whizz Loop V2 safely handles a maximum power rating of up to 10 Watts across AM, CW, and SSB modes. This lightweight loop antenna is a highly efficient, affordable, and fun-to-use solution for amateur radio operators looking to maintain high-frequency communications from temporary setups, space-restricted apartments, or outdoor portable locations.
