Quick Start
1. Locate a proper area where you would like to erect your loop antenna. Initially the system could b e o perated with the antenna lying on the floor.
2. Connect your coupler to the transceiver and a suitable 12VDC power supply. This can be the same source as the power supply to the radio if it is a 12VDC unit. Avoid regulated linear or switch­ing power supplies as they may be susceptible to RF radi ation and may lose regulation and apply higher voltage than permissi­ble. Power supplies may also lose regulation at peak modulation and cause intermittent operation.
3. Connect your loop antenna to the two terminals of the coupler; one hot side, one ground side. Both have a wing nut terminal to allow easy attachment.
4. If urgent operation is required, transmit on an emergency fre­quency with the antenna on the ground. Although this setup is not efficient, it will allow you to easily establish a communication link in an emergency.
5. Configure your antenna in single or multiple loops (not to exceed four loops).
6. Elevate your system to any surrounding high points such as a tree, roof, top of car, ceiling, mast, etc. Attach with 4 ropes and clips provided. The coupler can also be elevated using the fifth piece of rope.
7. After your initial contact, you may improve your antenna ins talla­tion following the guidelines in this manual.

1.0 Introduction
The Smart Tuning, Emergency Antenna Loop, Tactical HF Kit ­STEALTH - antenna kit is a high-freque ncy antenna for situations where a full size antenna is not possible. Its main features are:
Easily configured to the space available
Groundless - no RF ground re quired
Easy to install - kit contains all necessary items
Automatic operation
Easy to use - no meters or lights to watch, no buttons to push
Wide bandwidth - 2.5 (and lower for non-amateur radio usage) to 30 MHz
High performance - can match the performance of a full size dipole
STEALTH is a loop antenna chosen for its radiation efficiency and because it does not require an electrical ground. It can be horizontal or vertical mounted for short and long range communications needs.
An important use of STEALTH is as an emergency antenna. STEALTH is easy to install and easy to operate. Its small size makes it easy to transport and quick to install.
But STEALTH was also designed for... The amateur radio user who is struggling with Homeowners’
“Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions”. A stealth antenna can be installed with no visible signs of its presence, in developments where erected antennas are forbidden.
Those living in an apartment or similar limited environment. STEALTH provides an effective antenna in small spaces. It can be installed in an area as small as 5 feet by 5 feet.
Use as an effective, ready to go, compact vacation antenna.
Offices, farms, etc. It can be used where other antennas are not practi­cal.

1.1 Disclaimers
RF Burns can occur if the output terminals or antenna wire of the SG­237 are touched while transmitting. Use caution to avoid injury and burns.
Prolonged exposure to RF should be avoided. Those persons using heart pacemaker devices should avoid RF exposure.
To avoid injury and damage to equipment: Whenever possible, we strongly recommend reducing transmit power. Preferably, 10 to 25 watts should be used and will generally provide good communica­tions. If using an outside antenna, 100 watts can be used without any harmful consequences.
If for any reason a particular setup or frequency does not provide the expected results, minor changes can significantly improve perform­ance. For example: move the radio as far away as possible from the coupler or antenna; avoid coiled power or coaxial feed cables; recon­figure setup, etc.
SGC accepts no responsibility for performance or results from the STEALTH Kit. SGC accepts no responsibility for any unlikely dam­age or injury resulting from the use of the STEALTH Kit.

Equipment - Have you selected the equipment to be used in an emergency situation? Is that equipment able to withstand possible abuse? Do you have all power sources immediately available and, in the case of batter­ies, are they fully charged?
Cable extensions - Do you have AC cords long enough for typical situations? Is your coax long enough or should you have some exten si ons? If your installation will be battery powered, do you have cables to reach them and also the cables needed to maintain the charge on them?
Connector installation(s) - Have you installed all con­nectors on all the cables which might be needed?
Where are your emergency supplies - Are they in one, quickly retrievable location? Or do you have them scat­tered around?
Do not wait for an emergency to happen - be ready. Test everything including STEALTH. Be fully prepared to react in the event of an emergency.
4.1 Antenna Installation
There are several factors which need to be considered before install­ing the antenna and some can affect others.
WARNING!
Never mount any antenna near power lines or utility wires. Any
materials, ladders, ropes, feedlines, etc., which come in contact
with power lines can conduct voltages that can be fatal.
Stay away from all power lines.
4.1.1 Antenna Orientation
Because the signal radiation of a loop antenna is perpendicular to the plane of the loop, how you orient the antenna should be determined by your communica tio n need s .

This is called polarization. A loop mounted horizontally is considered to be vertically polarized as the signal is primarily radiated vertically and will provide more effective short distance communications. Like­wise, a loop mounted vertically is horizontally polarized as its signal is primarily radiated horizontally and is better for long range commu­nications.
4.1.1.1 Horizontal - for less than 500 miles (830km)
If your needs are expected to be less than 500 miles (830km), the best results can be obtained by orienting the antenna so the plane of the loop is horizontal.
Horizontal triangular plane - f or vertical radiation, the coupler is supported by rope, approx. 25 ft. in the center of the back segment.

4.1.1.2 Vertical - more than 500 miles (830km)
Use this type of antenna when you need to maintain long range com­munications of 500 to 5000 miles (830km to 8300km).
Vertically mounted two-turn loop. The coupler is installed in center of lower section antenna.
4.1.2 Shape of the an­tenna loop
The ideal shape of the antenna for this situation would b e a single turn circle. However, this would require complicated mounting.
Most needs can be fulfilled with a
one-turn square, rectangle or trian­gle shape. When there are limitations on what the size and shape of the loop can be, it might be necessary to reduce the size by making the loop two, three or four turns.
4.1.3 Antenna directivity
Like any antenna, a loop antenna is directional. As the size of the loop is reduced, by configuring it as two, three o r four turns, the directivity becomes more significant.

4.1.4 Height of antenna
As is the case with all antennas, the rule of thumb is “the higher the better”. You should attempt to make the lowest point of the loop at least 10 feet (3mtr) above ground.
4.1.5 Inside or outside
If possible, the antenna should be located outside and clear of any structures for maximum effectiveness. If you find this impossible, and you must locate the antenna inside, consider the following:
Ensure that the antenna will be at least 4 inches (10cm.) away from any larger metal objects such as a corner column or window support.
Does the ceiling or roof of the room contain metal mate­rial? This can have a negative effect on the performance of the antenna.
Is there any metal within the outside wall s o f the build­ing? This can also have a negative effect.
4.1.6 Environment
Your physical environment can influence how you mount STEALTH. For example, in a rainy area, an outside mounted antenna would need to be mounted as high as possible to avoid interaction with the wet ground. In a desert, where it is dry, this would be less of a considera­tion.
4.2 So what should I do?
The above descriptions are the ideal situations and may not always be obtainable. You should make every effort to install the antenna in an optimum way.
Although a square or rectangular antenna loop is generally more ef­fective, a triangular loop can also be used. If necessary, shape the an­tenna as two-turn or three-turn loop and lay it on an inside floor. It will not be as efficient as possible but you should be able to conduct effective communications.

Three Loop Configurations
Configuration 301
Four Loop Configurations
Configuration 302
Configuration 401
Configuration 402
The three and four turn loops are almost always indoor antennas and are very convenient for situations where there is a limited amount of space available. This will be of significant importance for the office or apartment user where they can be mounted near a window or door.
Coupler Connection Point
In the case of the triangular configurations above, the coupler is shown connected at a mid point of one of the legs which is the sug­gested point. If necessary, it can also be connected at a corner of the triangle. Testing has sho wn that the corner connection performs better when the coupler is connected at a midpoint of one of the legs or seg­ments. (Configurations 501, 502 & 503 will perform better than 302 & 402.)

Tip: one drawback when connecting the coupler at a corner of a tri­angular configuration is that the support ropes for the coupler can become long and difficult to install p ro perly.
If you have obtained the STEALTH for emergency use, practice installing the antenna. This will benef it yo u when it comes to an actual emergency situation.
4.3 Sample installation
WARNING!
Never mount any antenna near power lines or utility wires. Any
materials, ladders, ropes, feedlines, etc., which come in contact
with power lines can conduct voltages that can be fatal.
Stay away from all power lines.
For the limited space available, a three-turn square loop antenna, mounted vertically, for long range communication needs, is to be as­sembled with the coupler resting on the floor.
This will show how to construct the antenna so that emergency opera­tions can begin as quic kly as possible. You will then be shown how to finish the installation for better performance.

In this sample installation, the support ropes were attached to 2 chairs.
Attach the coupler to ends of antenna wire and lay it on the floo r .
The antenna has been raised to its final posi­tion and ends have been connected to the coupler which is lying on the floor.
Attach the cable from the coupler to the radio and connect the coupler power leads - see section 4.4.
Do not coil any cables! Doing so can make them susceptible to the
radiated signal from the antenna and they can have a negative effect on the performance of the antenna and radio system.
At this point in the constructio n o f the antenna, which required 15
minutes to accomplish, emergency operation is possible.

4.4 SG-237 Smartuner HF Antenna Coupler In-
stallation
Read the SG-237 manual, which is included, as it provides detailed information which can be helpful to your installation.
The coaxial connector at the end of the coupler cable can then be se­curely attached to the radio equipment.
The red wire should be attached to a +12 volt power source and the black wire to ground.
4.5 Tips, Do’s and Don’ts
Do not coil any cables, even those which are not part of the an- tenna. Doing so can make them susceptible to the signal radiated by the antenna and could impact the performance of the antenna and the radio system.
If an “RF Burn” - it feels like a sting - is experienced by touching the radio while transmitting, eliminate potential RF by grounding the radio by attaching one or more 15 to 40 foot wires (not sup­plied) to the ground terminal of the radio.
When shaping the wire for a multi -turn antenna, it will be much easier to accomplish if you can get another person to help. Form the loops, them alternate shaking and gently pulling the wire until all of the loops are the same length.
To verify that the antenna is radiating a signal, any 5 to 100 Watt fluorescent light tube can be used. By moving the bulb around the perimeter of the antenna you will find spots where the bulb lights up indicating the presence of radiated RF power. Intensity of light increases with power in the antenna and on lower frequencies.

19
For RF radiation detection, the fluo­rescent tube has been moved around the loop until a position was found where the bulb glowed.
Knot the ends of the supplied antenna wire together before at-
tempting to shape or install the antenna. Once the antenna has been raised into position, the knot can be r emoved and the cou­pler attached to the ends of the wire.
Whenever nylon rope is cut, the ends will quickly become unrav-
eled. This can be eliminated by slowly warming the ends with a small flame until the rope is melted slightly. You may use a match or a lighter for this p ur pose.
The coupler should be supported by a section of rope passed
through its mounting holes. Do not
allow it to hang unsupported
from the antenna wire.
When the installation of STEALTH will be a two-turn or three-
turn configuration, forming the loops first will make the installa­tion much easier to accomplish.
Appendix A (pg. 31) contains photographs of sample configurations and performance test results.

5.0 Adjustable Directive Loop Antenna
A small, highly directive, four-turn loop antenna can be constructed for indoor or outdoor use. The Adjustable Directive Loop Antenna can be used in a room as small as 10 by 10 feet. It can be hung from the ceiling with the supplied rope for orientation of the antenna for the best receiving or transmitting signal. By listening to a station, the operator can simply rotate the antenna for b e st signal strength or intel­ligibility.
When used indoors, appliances may cause local interferences or radio frequency pollution which could substantially impair the incoming signal. In this situation, the antenna can be oriented to minimize the interference and enhance the incoming signal. Also, when reaching the contact station, a test can be performed by asking the contact sta­tion for a signal report. Rotating the antenna in 45 degree incre ments is the best way to determine the be st r a diation direction.
Direction of the angle is perpendicular to the plane of the antenna with directivity gain varying from 6 to 12db for a 4-turn loop antenna. This depend s on the operating frequency - the lower the frequency the higher the directivity.
For this construction, two wooden flagpoles, sticks or plastic plumb­ing tubes of 6 feet long would be required and a hookup point on the ceiling, 7 feet or more above the ground.
The following pages describ e this type of installation.

First construct the cross sectio n of the two sticks by using the sup­plied rope - on the vertical stick by approximately 2 to 3 inches above the center.
Next, use two of the supplied cable ties at the end of each pole; one to go around the pole and to hold the other in place. Four sets of two will be required, one set for each of the four ends of the poles.

Attach the cable ties 2 inches from three ends of the pole. For the fourth side (the bottom), place the cable ties 14 to 15 inches from the end of the pole. This will create a 4 by 4 foot loop approximately.
Next, on the bottom below the cable ties, attach the coupler vertically with rope or more cable ties.
Now, attach the antenna wire to the coupler output and loop the an­tenna five times through t he loops previously made. When completed, attach the end of the loop antenna to the couplers ground terminal. If any wire is left, pass it through an additional cab le tie or just let it hang from the lowest part of the loop. If the antenna ends up too short to get to the ground terminal, re move it from the last cable tie and go directly to the ground terminal.

Note: Drawing shows construc­tion details and is not to scale.
Rotate the antenna until the best direction is achieved. Then, secur e it with an additional rope attached to a nearby object such as a window or door.

8.0 Global Reference Database
To illustrate and substantiate t he re sults and performance of the loop antennas described in this book, SGC has established a special online database describing contacts used with this equipment. This database will effectively inform any user of the results that they could expect using the STEALTH Kit. Anyone can add their con­tacts made to this database for the entire world to see.

9.0 Conclusion
The STEALTH KIT can be used in any emergency situation and be erected in 15 minutes. In an urgent situation, lay the SG-237 Smar­tuner and the antenna on the floor in a distorted round or square loop of approximately 20 by 20 feet, and establish communications immediately. Later, the antenna system can be erected following the guidelines in this book to provide better and more reliable commu­nication.
The addition of our Global Reference Database (www.sgcworld.com/stealth) will give first time users a better un­derstanding of the outstanding capabilities of HF Radio Communi­cation in an emergency situation or by simply co ntacting other s around the world.
The STEALTH Kit can be used throughout the complete HF Spec­trum from 2.5 to 60 MHz in any commercial, industrial, marine, aviation, vehicular, government, militar y or residential app lication.
