Ultralight EFHW Antenna Winder KM4CFT Transformer

Boost MeIf you like the design and it works well for you, consider giving it a boost. Your support helps me keep developing and refining practical, field ready designs like this one.

Lightweight, field-ready wire winder designed specifically for EFHW setups using the KM4CFT 20W transformer. Built for portability, simplicity, and real world deployment.

This design uses standard zip ties to securely mount your EFHW transformer directly to the winder, creating a compact all-in-one antenna package. The frame doubles as an anchor system, with multiple integrated attachment points for carabiners, guy lines, or cordage; ideal for rapid deployment in the field.

The open center section provides plenty of clearance for BNC coax connections, keeping everything clean and strain-free. The slim, skeletonized structure reduces weight while maintaining strength, making it well-suited for ultralight portable ops (POTA, SOTA, field kits, etc.).

A built-in slot accommodates a Velcro strap to keep your antenna wire neatly secured during transport.
