V-DIPOLE · Wire Antennas A wire radiator or wire antenna system for documented horizontal, sloping, inverted-V, inverted-L, dipole, or NVIS use. Why operators make room for it Make the available trees, mast, and space work for the station Sometimes the best antenna support is a tree at one end, a portable mast at the other, and just enough clear space between them. The CHA V-DIPOLE is a compact, resonant portable HF antenna system designed to transform existing Chameleon Antenna MPAS READY and Tactical Delta Loop components into a highly capable portable “V” Dipole covering 40 through 6 meters. That flexibility gives an operator a credible path from a compact field kit to a full-size radiator, while the official configuration still governs feedpoint, support, tuning, and safety choices.

Raise the wire with a support that satisfies the antenna guide's height, load, insulation, and guying limits. Keep balanced dipole configurations symmetrical and do not add radial or counterpoise accessories unless the guide explicitly requires them. Balanced-system rule: Do not add radial or counterpoise accessories to a dipole configuration unless the official guide explicitly requires them.Complete product details CHA V-DIPOLE Portable Resonant “V” Dipole Add-On Kit for the MPAS READY Ecosystem The CHA V-DIPOLE is a compact, resonant portable HF antenna system designed to transform existing Chameleon Antenna MPAS READY and Tactical Delta Loop components into a highly capable portable “V” Dipole covering 40 through 6 meters. Built around the modular MPAS READY ecosystem philosophy, the CHA V-DIPOLE allows operators to reuse many of the same components they may already own — including SS17 telescopic whips, loading coils, HUB assemblies, mounting systems, adapters, and tripods — to rapidly configure a completely different portable antenna system tailored to their operating mission. Unlike broadband compromise antennas that typically require antenna tuners, the CHA V-DIPOLE is a resonant antenna system that can provide low SWR operation on 40–6 meters when properly configured and tuned. The low-mounted “V” Dipole geometry is specifically optimized for portable deployment. The angled “V” configuration helps keep the whip ends farther away from the ground compared with some compact low-mounted antenna layouts, while also reducing the horizontal footprint required for operation. Portable HF operations POTA and SOTA activations Emergency communications HOA environments Campgrounds Temporary field deployments Off-grid communications Tactical portable operations The compact footprint and modular architecture enable rapid deployment and easy transport without requiring large support structures or permanent installations. The CHA V-DIPOLE supports multiple deployment methods including: Surveyor Tripod configurations Spike Mount setups UCM mounting systems Portable field setups HOA-friendly temporary installations Covering 40–6 meters, the CHA V-DIPOLE utilizes different whip extension lengths and loading coil configurations to provide resonant operation across multiple amateur HF bands. The CHA V-DIPOLE Add-On Kit includes (TWO OPTIONS) FULL KIT (2) CHA M-COIL Medium Loading Coils CHA SS INSULATOR Hairpin Match Assembly CHA BLANK Adapter SO-239 “T” Adapter PL-259 Adapters Banana Jack to BNC Connector CHA SINGLE EXT Extension HARDWARE CONNECTORS KIT Hairpin Match Assembly SO-239 “T” Adapter PL-259 Adapters Banana Jack to BNC Connector The system integrates seamlessly with existing MPAS READY and Tactical Delta Loop components already used by operators worldwide, expanding the capability of your portable communications system without requiring an entirely separate antenna ecosystem. Key Features Resonant portable V-Dipole antenna Covers 40–6 meters No antenna tuner required in most operating situations Modular MPAS READY ecosystem compatibility Portable and lightweight Compact deployment footprint Rapid field setup Multiple mounting options HOA friendly Excellent for portable HF operation Designed for EMCOMM, POTA, SOTA, and field use Built in USA The CHA V-DIPOLE is not simply another antenna. It is another mission-ready configuration within the growing MPAS READY ecosystem — enabling operators to build, adapt, and evolve their portable communications capability based on changing operating requirements and field conditions.
