Description
After purchasing my current POTA antenna, the radials started becoming a real issue.. I personally have 16 radials (2 per spade connector) so it made packing them up a nightmare. I also couldn't find any wire winder for 8 radials specifically, of course this can be used for less than 8 as well.
I'll always recommend PETG as it's stronger but mine is PLA and it's held up very very well. It has some thickness to it so it doesn't feel like it's just going to snap in half. 8 wires neatly wound provides a surprising amount of pressure..
Have fun out there playing radio! What an amazing hobby we share, 73! M7PXZ.
