New Stickers have Arrived!

We're excited to announce something fun that just landed in the shop — brand new custom stickers designed especially with parks activators in mind!

These high-quality vinyl stickers feature a vibrant mountain scene with the simple but iconic message: "Find a park. Hang a wire. QRZ?"

If you've ever slung a wire in the trees, called CQ from a picnic table, or logged contacts with a thermos of coffee beside you — these are for you. Whether you're running QRP from the trail or tossing out 100 watts from a campsite, the heart of it all is the same: get outdoors, make some contacts, and enjoy the magic of HF with just a wire and a radio. These stickers capture that spirit in a way only activators truly understand.

Bonus for Supporters:

We’ve got a limited batch of early samples, and we're including one free with the next few antenna orders through our Etsy shop. No code needed — just place your order and we’ll toss one in while supplies last!

Perfect for:

• Tackle or Go Boxes
• Field kits and go bags
• Water bottles
• Notebooks
• Radios (if you're brave!)

We’ve already added a few to our own gear, and we can’t wait to see where yours end up. Tag us when you slap one on your kit or post your activation photos — we’d love to share them.

And as always, if you’re looking for a solid, portable antenna to pair with your next park adventure, check out our hand-built End Fed Half Wave (EFHW) antennas on our Etsy shop. Built by operators, for operators.

Introducing a NEW VERSION

After I'm excited about the latest addition to my line of EFHW antennas! After a few request from folks and building upon the success of my original model, I've created a new version featuring a completely different connector system.

My original EFHW antenna, with its compact design and reliable 2mm banana connector, remains a popular choice for many hams.

The new model uses a robust lever-lock connector (similar to the Wago design) that accommodates a wide range of bare wire sizes, from 24 AWG to 14 AWG. This innovative design simplifies the connection process and provides greater compatibility with various wire types.

Key Considerations:

• Versatility: The new connector offers increased versatility in terms of wire compatibility.
• Ease of Use: The lever-lock mechanism simplifies the connection process, making setup a breeze.
• Size: Please note that the new connector system slightly increases the overall size of the antenna compared to the original model.

Which Model is Right for You?

• Original Model (Banana Connector): Ideal for those who prioritize compact size. The banana connector offers a certain degree of "breakaway" if the wire is subjected to significant stress, which can be both an advantage and a disadvantage depending on your operating environment.
• New Model (Lever-Lock Connector): Recommended for those seeking maximum wire compatibility, the easiest possible connection, and increased connection security.

Both models are meticulously crafted with high-quality components and designed to provide exceptional performance.

Visit my Etsy shop to explore both options and choose the perfect EFHW antenna for your ham shack.

I'm confident that these improvements will further enhance your radio communication experiences.

73,
