Aziloop DF-72
The Aziloop DF‑72 is a dual‑mode, multi‑directional antenna system for VLF–HF reception, offering features unmatched at this price point.
It consists of a versatile LF/HF receiving antenna that can be remotely controlled.
We do not yet have any experience with this antenna. All materials are ready for installation, but we have to wait for suitable weather conditions in the mountain area.
Key Facts
- 10 kHz to 30 MHz
- Visually unobtrusive, space‑saving antenna design consisting of two orthogonal loops plus a ground connection
- Stepped‑Azimuth technology for electronic rotation – the antenna itself remains stationary
- Full control via an intuitive Windows interface with selectable Local, Client, or Server mode
- Dual antenna modes: switch between Loop mode and K9AY mode
- 108 antenna patterns in one device: 72 K9AY headings and 36 loop axes, switchable in just 60 ms
