Video: Wirewinders from SOTABEAMS
I have spent years searching for the ideal way of winding up antenna wire for use in the field. These special winders are just about perfect! Lightweight and with an elastic fastener to secure the wire, they are quick and easy to use.
Wire winders ensure tangle-free aerials and rapid deployment - perfect! Great for SOTA, caravanning and DXpeditions!
Use a figure-of-eight winding technique which helps to ensure no kinks in the wire.
We recommend three winders for a dipole fed with RG174 (one for each half of the dipole and one for the co-ax and back guy). Two winders are usually adequate for a dipole fed with RG58 (cable coiled separately).
Each winder weighs 1.25 oz (36g). Length 24.5 cm (9.75 inches).

Excellent
A wire winder that does its job. Keeps the antenna in good order and is easy to handle.
-
Nice holder for my packed wire antennas.
It works nicely, storing my wire antennas in good order and do not add to much of weight. First i think it was a little to soft but using it a couple of times the softness is good. It take good shape in my backpack.

No More Wire Jungles
These things are great. I can almost rewind the wire as fast as it pays out. #18 is the heaviest wire I've used on them.

Excellent wire winders
Great, simple product that prevents me from getting my antennas tangles better than any other I've used.
-
Perfect for winding wire!
I wouldn't use anything else to wind wires. It's quick, compact and does the job. I tried spools but that was too much of a pain.

color
I wish that you can order it in the color you want but it is great [Admin: we are happy to send whatever colours you want - just ask!]

Easy way to keep wire neat & ready to deploy
Glad I ordered 3 of these. Perhaps should have ordered 3 more. I use them for the wires & feed line for the inverted vee I built from SB wire & components. The winders keep everything tidy for deployment. If you use 3 winders as I have, do find or buy a bag to keep the stress on the connections to the center support at a minimum, especially with lightweight wire & Pico components. If I had another, I'd use it for my EFHW wire antenna. Wire on the winder would not be as compact a package, but figure 8 wrap on the winder might eliminate some of the coil tangle that tends to happen when I coil my EFHW compactly for storage/transport.

Simple and very effective
Keeping wires and guys tidy is always a pain, but these make it simple.

What a good idea
...and a bigger vcersion would be very welcome

Just the Job!
I was going to make a couple of these, but to be honest at this price they offer very good value for the money and the different colours make it easy to remember what one you have the antenna or the counterpoise on.
