MADE IN  THE USA

Welcome

Every antenna is custom hand-built in small batches right here in the USA. We test them ourselves in the dirt and at home, then refine them based on real feedback from operators who run them hard. No cheap overseas mass production. No fragile junk that fails after a few activations. Just honest, reliable antennas that simply work—whether you’re hiking with a 30-foot pole or operating from your home station. Built in America, by hams, for hams.

Shop by How You Operate

Every antenna is custom hand-crafted in the USA. We test them ourselves in the field and at home, then improve them from real operator feedback. From portable POTA and SOTA setups to end-feds, linked dipoles, true QRP and low power, 100-watt designs, and supporting chokes and baluns, the selection covers nearly every operating aspect. No mass-produced shortcuts—just antennas that hold up whether you’re hiking, using a mast, or operating from home. Built in America, by hams, for hams.

End Fed Half Wave

Multi-Band capability with a tuner

Off-center-fed dipoles give multi-band HF coverage from a single wire by placing the feedpoint away from center, typically with a matching transformer. That layout keeps installation simpler than a stack of monoband antennas while still delivering usable performance on several amateur bands. They are a practical choice for both fixed stations and portable setups when you can support a reasonably long run of wire.
