This is one of the best solution for HAM's or listeners (SWL's) who don't have an access to the large space for use dipole or a long wire antenna. For those who want to operate from indoor of the house or from hotel on vacation. This loop doesn't need any grounding or counterpoise and work properly also from a very low altitudes. The main advantages of my Magloops are lightweight body, small size, quick and easy setup, also possibility to use this antenna in an indoor conditions.

L.A.S by Lazlo Szakvary F5LS
F5LS was one of the rare French manufacturers of amateur radio and SWL equipment. He began learning DIY at the age of 14 thanks to his father who was an engineer. One of his first creations in 1958 was a 5-band amateur traffic receiver with double frequency change fully transistorized the "SKYHUNTER". At the beginning of the sixties he created the brand "L.A.S" (Laboratory for the application of semiconductors) reduction of his name of Hungarian origin Laszlo. In these workshops on rue de la parish in Fontainebleau he will create numerous models, often at the cutting edge of progress, with the beautiful names of our sweet provinces of France such as VENDEE, PROVENCE, SAVOIE, etc…
Laszlo was a precursor of genius. In 1994 he built a prototype the BRETAGNE 3G which covered from 2 meters to 23 CM.
A member of REF N° 9644 since 1956, he was very active and had even organized an amateur radio expedition in 1972 on Mont Blanc!!! (4807 meters).
His radio amateur friends in the 1960s nicknamed it “THE OM TRANSISTOR”.
Laszlo Szakvary died on September 30, 2000 at the age of 73. Thanks to F6AOD and TK5JJ who knew Laszlo well and for the documents which helped me to create this site.

Antenna is the most important for a listener of medium wave and shortwave
As for those who listen to music on a high fidelity system the most important element are the speakers, for a radios listerner most important is the antenna.

Spiderbeam was founded in the year 2000 by DF4SA, sparked by his passion for highly competitve radio contesting during portable, outdoor operations, fielddays, DXpeditions, etc. Simple wire antennas are quite allright, but using them to do well in a contest is pretty hard.
The spider beam is a full size lightweight tribander yagi for 20-15-10m, made from fiberglass and wire. It has been specially developed as a highly efficient antenna for portable use - a DXpeditioner's dream.
Further development yielded a complete 5-band-beam (20-17-15-12-10m), a WARC version (30-17-12m), and several other configurations. Recently, monoband versions and a specially reinforced heavy duty antenna line (optimized for permanent installation at home) have been added.
Apart from a good highband antenna, a competitive portable contest station must have a lightweight & efficient antenna for the low bands as well. For this purpose we have designed our professional telescopic fiberglass poles with a total height of 12m (40ft) and 18m (60ft) (NEW!). These strong poles are very well suited for carrying lowband wire GP or inverted L antennas, or any other temporary wires, like quad or delta loops and dipoles for all bands.
The secret behind the success of our portable spiderbeam yagi is its simplicity, ruggedness and a true "no compromise" design: several fullsize monoband beams are interlaced on one boom with negligible interaction. While the antenna is as light as a mini beam, it maintains the gain and F/B ratio of a typical full size tribander. The whole antenna weight is only 6-7kg (14 lbs), making it ideally suited for portable use. It can be carried and installed easily by a single person. A small push-up mast and a TV rotator is totally sufficient, saving even more weight on the total setup. The transportation length is only 1.20m (4ft).
After completion of the design phase and successful trial runs in 2001 and 2002 CQWW contests, the Spiderbeam antenna plans were released to the public. A very detailed construction guide (classic Heathkit-style step-by-step instructions) is available as a PDF document. You are most welcome to download our free construction guide and build your own spider beam from scratch. Several helpful OMs have kindly translated this manual to their mother tongue, making it available in several different languages. This incredible worldwide response and cooperation turned the construction guide turned into a truly international open-source project, and Spiderbeam into a worldwide known trademark for affordable, high quality fiberglass antennas of all kinds.
Many thanks to everybody for your continued interest and support - without it we would not be here today.
Enjoy browsing our website and see you on the air from your next expedition to that sweet DX spot you have always wanted to go. It is our goal to make your luggage light and your signals strong!
