The MLA-30+ loop antenna is a popular broadband antenna perfect for shortwave listeners (SWL) and amateur radio operators (HAM) in urban balconies, rooftops, etc.
This portable shortwave indoor loop antenna is a simple kit that includes all necessary kits. Modular design, easy to install in limited spaces such as balconies and rooftops.
Excellent directivity can help you reduce noise and improve the signal-to-noise ratio; you can simply change the orientation of the antenna to align the antenna's virtual point with the interfering signal, minimizing specific near-field interference for best results.
Noise reduction is up to 30 dB compared to long-line antennas. It can dig out weak signals that are overwhelmed by noise. The 8-shaped pattern provides deep virtual points to further reduce interference.
Do not connect to the transmitter as this will damage the preamplifier.
Listening to shortwave radio is an exciting hobby, but for urban dwellers, the experience is often disappointing. We could barely receive any useful signal, even for more powerful radio stations. Signals hide in all different types of interference. Why does this happen? Urban radio frequency interference (RFI) has increased dramatically, and all types of poorly designed electronic devices have been found in every corner of the city. Interference is generated by LCD TVs, WiFi routers, poorly designed power adapters, powerline WiFi extenders, EV chargers, etc., all combining to cause interference in the shortwave spectrum. If there is a suitable place to set up an outdoor long-line antenna, the situation might be different. But when living in an apartment or condominium, there is no rooftop to set up a long wire antenna. That's when you need the MLA-30+, a magnetic loop antenna for balcony installations.
Small, compact, low profile, and barely noticeable
