Description
Updated model of my EFrogHW antenna winder. Added a bottom plate so that double stacked FT140s or a 1002 “Fatty” toroid will fit in the winder without adding any addition thickness to it once wrapped with wire.
I have also extended the back legs a bit to allow easier winding of larger gauge wire.
I was able to squeeze a 1002 wrapped in 14 awg wire into it, but using 18 awg wire would be easier.
Antenna and Counterpoise are designed for M5 hardware.
I have been using M5x14 for the antenna and M5x12 for the counterpoise
The lid and bottom plate were designed to use M3 hardware.
M3x5 for the lid and M3x16 for the tray.
Sized for 1 inch straps. I found some 12in straps that work nicely without too much left over using 26 awg wire.
Eyes are sized for 6mm Googly eyes if so inclined.
