3D-Printed POTA / SOTA Antenna Winders
Designed specifically for portable ham radio operations such as Summits on the Air (SOTA) and Parks on the Air (POTA), these lightweight and durable 3D-printed antenna winders are the perfect addition to your field kit.

Each winder is shaped for easy wire deployment and tangle-free storage, making setup and pack-down fast and efficient — ideal for portable and quick-deployment scenarios. A convenient integrated bungee tie-off allows you to secure the end of your wire neatly or attach the antenna wire directly to a mast or support structure, keeping your operating position tidy and organised.

These winders are suitable for a variety of portable antenna types, including: End-Fed Half Wave (EFHW) antennas, Vertical wire antennas, Random wire antennas

I have used these winders from vertical antennas: 10m/15m/17m/20m, EFHW, Random wires (W3EDP) and a 10.9 Inverted L vertical with radials.

The larger winder version includes an optional BNC connector mount, allowing you to build a direct vertical antenna system with minimal parts. Just connect your coax, unwind your elements - no additional feedpoint or enclosure needed.
