Here we are now, on the verge of shipping our 100th antenna!
That’s right – nearly 100 of you have trusted me to deliver something that will help you get on the air, enjoy the hobby, and make connections that stretch far beyond the wires and solder. To say I’m grateful would be an understatement. I’ve poured my love for amateur radio into each transformer and antenna I build, and seeing them take off like this has been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had.
These antennas started as a small personal project, born from my own need for something portable, reliable, and hand-crafted. But the more I built, the more I realized there were others out there who appreciated the same thing – a piece of gear that’s not just functional, but thoughtfully made, one at a time, by someone who understands the craft. I’m proud to say that’s what I deliver with every single order. And I'm even more proud now that I've began using a custom PCB!
For those who’ve reached out with feedback, stories of your QSOs, or even just a quick “Thanks,” you’ve made this journey more meaningful than I ever imagined. Whether you’re setting up in the backyard, working POTA, or making the most of limited space, hearing about your success with these EFHW antennas brings me so much joy.
As I look ahead to order number 100 and beyond, I just want to pause and say THANK YOU to every single one of you. Thank you for supporting a small shop, for sharing your stories, and for reminding me why I love this hobby so much. Here’s to many more antennas, QSOs, and connections!
If you’ve been thinking about picking one up, now might just be the perfect time. I’ll be including a little something extra in the 100th order as a small way to celebrate this milestone – so who knows, it could be yours!
Until then, 73, and happy operating!
