NEW VERSION V2: The latest version of our Reel POTA-ble antennas is completely re-designed from the ground up. We are no longer using the Chalk reel, but making our own from high quality 3D printed parts. The new V2 will offer high quality components like SO239 and BNC connectors with silver plating and Teflon insulators. All Hardware is high quality Stainless Steel, We have now added a counterpoise bolt for those who have previously asked for it. We are now using a much stronger and improved connection system to the wire. The carabiner, and connector protective caps are provided free of charge and are not part of the item price.
THE REEL POTA-ble EFHW Antenna is a truly unique, and versatile portable antenna. Designed for quick and easy deployment with portable operators in mind. The antenna is light, and compact, easy to fit in most Go Bags. It features a 49:1 impedance transformer built in to a reel box. The round spool keeps the flexible silicone 20 ga wire from kinking, and provides smooth deployment and retraction. One of the unique features of the Reel POTA-ble antenna is the integrated active connection between the transformer and the radiating element. This allows for fine tuning, unlike some traditional EFHW antennas with fixed length wire. An example is our antenna is pre-tuned for the lower end of 40 meters, and with 12 cranks of the handle it's now resonant at the top of the band. Please see SWR plots pictures and Video. With the wire fully extended 20, 15, 10 meters are ready to go or may need 3-4 turns reeled in, no tuner required. The Antenna is rated for 100 watts SSB, 50 watts CW, and 35 watts FT8 or other Digital modes. The antenna comes with a Free Carabiner, Free protective connector cap, and a wire end insulator for easy attachments in the field. This is a great POTA, SOTA or Field Day, antenna. All antennas from December 2025 onwards, are now the newer version.

This is the quickest antenna I always wanted in my dreams. No kidding! I tried to build an EFHW where I could deploy it quickly but that ended bad and in a bunch of frustration.
I saw this antenna and discovered that it was made 45 minutes from where I live, so I drove over and bought one from Robert.
I’m so glad I did because my SWRs went way down 1.054 to 1 on both 40 and 20 Meters (using my NanoVNA) with this antenna.
People can actually hear me now.

An OUTSTANDING antenna with great performance and stellar customer service.
After having the bad luck (and rare instance) of it failing after only a couple uses, I reached out to support. Robert went far above and beyond and took the time to discuss it on the phone and help me troubleshoot the cause, and then suggest a fix in detail if I was up to it. (even though they were not obligated as it was beyond the warranty period) I was back on the air in no time! Now THAT is customer service!
I just ordered my second unit for another radio kit. This is now my go-to portable antenna.

If you’re thinking about making your own EFHW, don’t.
This antenna is all you will need for a EFHW antenna. It’s super solid. I’ve had mine for 18 months or so and I can’t say enough good things about it. Buy one! Jeremy N7RIP
