Description
I created this antenna winder for my random wire antennas. It should also fit a 40m end fed depending on the wire size. I use 22 AWG wire and it fits nicely. The top section is large enough for your random wire, and the bottom section is for the counterpoise.
I added an array of holes for keeping the ends tidy and in place. I wanted an antenna winder that could easily hold two wires without the need for extra ties or straps.
If you don't plan on leaving this in direct sunlight, printing from PLA should be just right. I print mine at 25% infill with 4 top layers. printing with 3 top layers seemed to be a bit thin, but your slicer might do a better job than mine.
Have fun, and get out there in the wild and play radio!
