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).

Brilliant and simple
No more tangled wires bought a few to try and will get some more. Easy deployment for portable antennas and just generally keeping wire untangled. also can be hooked onto a tent peg or around a tree very versatile. Highly recommended. Cliff VK2NP

Absolute must
These have been well thought out and work exactly as shown. They make recovering guy lines or feeder a breeze and if you use the Figure of 8 method then no more loops and tangles.

SUPER PRODUCT
I love these wire winders. They are invaluable for my portable operations for quick and easy deployment plus easy storage of various wire dipoles in my motorhome. Such a versatile piece of kit! Nick M1DDD

Sometime the simplest way is the best way
Great winders. Period. I haven't had any experience with others, so I can't offer any comparison reviews, but these winders are the cat's ass. The wings (?) are large enough so that a substantial amount of wire can be wound before you run out of room. The small elastic is easy to stretch around the wire and clip onto the little plastic nipple, even with cold hands, and securely holds the wound product in place. But it doesn't stop there - unwinding the wire (or para-cord, etc) couldn't be a simpler chore - comes off smooth and tangle-free. Love these things.

Works as shown in the video
Look how many of these things you see in use in portable operations. There's a good reason. I suggest ordering a few more than you think you need as you will find more uses.

Easy and efficient
They wind and unwind without twisting or kinking the wire. They are really lite and very sturdy. As the ARES EC for this area, and an avid QRPr, I keep man portable and vehicle portable HF rigs ready to go at all times. They make the deployment and stowing of wire antennas a breeze. These winders are now a major component of my field gear.

Very handy for my end feds, was fed up of untangling wires, it took forever.I have to pack my antennas away after use in my retirement home.
