Our rope is specifically designed to be used for outdoor antenna
installations. High strength, almost no stretch, and very good
abrasion resistance make it the ideal choice. For a typical 40 meter
dipole or smaller antenna, the 3/32" should be sufficient. For longer
dipoles, full wave loops, and wire arrays, we recommend using a heavier
rope. If you typically get a lot of icing in winter storms, you may
want to use one of the larger sizes in any case. |

The good news: An improved antenna system can
dramatically enhance your signal, and your Ham Radio enjoyment.
The better news: An improved antenna system does not have to be
expensive.
While not all of us can put up towers, beam antennas,
or monster arrays, we can all improve our antenna systems to some degree.
Sometimes all it takes is a little imagination, investigation, and effort.
We offer a wide range of antennas, antenna wire,
feedline, rope, and related
hardware for your next project.

Rocket 88™ HF Antenna |
Rocket 88™ Antenna
radiation
pattern on 20 Meters at 35 feet
10.43 dBi gain -- more than 3 dB better than a G5RV |
Covers
80M-60M-40M-30M-20M-17M-15M-12M-10M-6M (tuner required)
No traps, no gimmicks, just great performance.
Beats the pants off a G5RV! This is a kit.
You need to solder the antenna wires and feedline, and devise your own
transition from ladder-line to coax.
Instructions are included, and it's fun, simple and easy to build.
Great for new licensees and old-timers alike. Uses stranded wire
ladder-line for much better durability. |

Fully assembled, plug and play. Uses solid wire
ladder line. I think the Rocket 88™ is a better choice, but if you
want a G5RV this is the one to get. |

QuickStick™
single band HF antennas are great for mobile or portable operation. They
feature a rugged 48" fiberglass base and high-strength stainless
steel 48" tunable (and removable) whip. All have a standard 3/8-24 thread.
Use 2 for a dipole, or more for a compact, portable beam. See our
mounts page for a variety of mounting options
(we strongly recommend a 3 or 4 magnet mount for these antennas); see our
connectors page for popular RF connectors and adapters.
Available in 6, 10, 15, 17, 20, 40, and 75 Meter
models. All are rated for 250 Watts.

Our antenna wire is locally grown using strictly
organic methods. No additives or fillers, and only natural fertilizer.
Our New England climate is well suited to raising the ideal antenna wire.
We take that a step further and add fresh DX enhancing electrons immediately
before shipping the wire to you.
We guarantee that you will hear every station that you work using our
wire. |

At left -- Antenna wire seedlings just beginning
to grow. These are about six weeks old. They grow slowly.
In about four months we will transplant them into individual containers. |

At left -- ripe for harvest. After about
12 months, this one has reached 75' and is ready to be picked. Longer
lengths require more time. We're patient. |

Standard-grade pulleys include swivel eyes so
they won't twist your rope and wire. All metal construction with
ball-bearings |

Pulleys make raising and lowering antennas much easier. Support ropes
last much longer if they are not rubbing on trees, too. The are
economical, good quality pulleys. For the best and longest service, we
do recommend our marine-grade pulleys, below. This one has a 1/2 inch
wheel and is good for rope up to 1/8" |

The pulleys above are good quality, and better than
what you would get at a typical hardware or home improvement store.
However -- they pale in comparison to the marine grade pulleys below.
Our deluxe pulleys are designed for sailboats operating in salt water.
As such, they are routinely subjected to much higher stresses, in a much
harsher environment, than in a typical Ham Radio installation. They're
not
inexpensive, but they are absolutely the best you can get and they will last
a lifetime.
