One Antenna — Multiple Ways to Deploy
One of the biggest advantages of the HF-010 is its ability to adapt to different operating locations.
Soft Ground
Operating from a park, campsite, field, or other location with suitable soil?
Use the supplied ground spike to install the antenna directly into the ground and deploy the included radial system.
Concrete & Hard Surfaces
No place to drive a ground spike?
The HF-010 includes a portable tripod, allowing you to establish the antenna on concrete, pavement, rocky terrain, patios, or other hard surfaces.
A supplied weighted water bag can be used with the tripod to improve stability without requiring you to carry a heavy permanent weight into the field.
Fill it when you arrive and empty it before packing up.
Stationary Vehicle Operation
The HF-010 can also be adapted for use with a compatible magnetic antenna base and the appropriate optional HF-010A accessory.
This provides another useful configuration for operators working from a parked vehicle or temporary mobile station.
The antenna should not be operated from a vehicle while the vehicle is moving.
80 Through 6 Meter Coverage
The HF-010 provides broad HF and 6-meter coverage in one portable antenna system.
Supported amateur bands include:
80 Meters
60 Meters
40 Meters
30 Meters
20 Meters
17 Meters
15 Meters
12 Meters
10 Meters
6 Meters
This makes the HF-010 a strong choice for operators who want to carry one antenna system instead of multiple single-band antennas into the field.
Dedicated 80-Meter Loading Coils
Getting a compact portable vertical to operate on 80 meters requires substantial electrical loading.
The HF-010 addresses this with dedicated fixed loading coils for 80-meter operation, while the adjustable sliding coil provides tuning for other HF bands.
This gives operators access to the lower HF bands without carrying a separate 80-meter antenna system.
Quick Sliding-Coil Tuning
For operation from 60 through 17 meters, the HF-010 uses a smooth sliding tuning coil that allows you to quickly adjust the antenna for the desired frequency.
Fine tuning can then be accomplished using the telescopic whip.
Radioddity even includes a tape measure so you can record your preferred antenna settings.
Once you've established the correct measurements for your favorite frequencies, write them down and use those measurements during future activations. This can significantly reduce setup time compared with starting from scratch every time you change bands.
Always verify your final SWR before transmitting.
Built for Repeated Field Use
Portable antennas get assembled, disassembled, packed, transported, and exposed to outdoor conditions far more frequently than a permanent station antenna.
The HF-010 addresses this with upgraded 304 stainless-steel threaded connectors at critical connection points.
The sliding loading coil is also enclosed, helping protect the tuning mechanism against dust, moisture, and physical damage during normal field use.
These improvements make the HF-010 particularly attractive for operators who expect to use their antenna regularly rather than only occasionally.
Complete Portable Antenna Kit
The HF-010 is designed as a complete portable antenna system rather than simply an antenna element.
Included with the system are the components needed for multiple types of field deployment, including:
HF-010 vertical antenna components
Telescopic whip
Adjustable loading coil
Dedicated 80-meter loading components
Ground spike
Portable tripod
Weighted stability water bag
Three ground radial wires

Built for POTA & Field Operation
The HF-009 was designed with portable operation in mind.
Unlike mobile-style HF antennas that require a magnetic mount or vehicle body to provide a ground plane, the HF-009 includes its own ground spike and three radial wires.
That means you can establish a complete vertical antenna system directly on the ground at a park, campsite, field location, or emergency operating site.
Drive the spike into suitable soil, connect and spread the three radials around the antenna base, assemble the vertical sections, and you're ready to begin tuning.
Quick Slide-and-Lock Tuning
Changing bands doesn't require swapping coils or disassembling the antenna.
The HF-009 uses a slide-and-lock manual tuning system that allows you to adjust the loading coil for the desired operating frequency. Fine tuning can then be performed using the telescopic whip.
Once you've recorded the settings for your favorite frequencies, repeat setups in the field can be completed much faster.
For the best results, we recommend using your radio's SWR meter, built-in SWR scanner, or a NanoVNA / antenna analyzer when initially establishing your preferred tuning positions.
Up to 12.1 Feet Tall
When fully deployed, the HF-009 can reach approximately 12.1 feet / 3.7 meters in height.
The combination of the extension sections, adjustable loading coil, telescopic whip, and radial system provides a capable portable vertical while still breaking down into components small enough to transport in the included carrying bag.
Rugged Outdoor Construction
The HF-009 uses high-grade aluminum alloy and stainless-steel components with an anti-corrosion coating for field use.
The adjustable loading coil is housed inside the antenna assembly rather than being left exposed. This helps protect the coil and adjustment mechanism during transportation and outdoor operation.
The result is a portable antenna designed to handle the repeated setup, teardown, transportation, and outdoor conditions that come with regular field operation.
Excellent Match for the Xiegu G90 and the QMX+
The HF-009 makes an excellent antenna companion for the Xiegu G90 20W HF SDR Transceiver.
The G90's built-in SWR scanner and automatic antenna tuner make it particularly convenient for use with an adjustable portable antenna like the HF-009.
