What Is SPOOLTENNA?
Designed and Built in Cary, NC
SPOOLTENNA is a compact, lightweight antenna designed for portable amateur radio operations like Parks on the Air® (POTA) and Summits on the Air™ (SOTA). Its innovative spool form factor is intended to ensure efficient deployment, teardown, and storage, providing a frustration-free operating experience that doesn't compromise performance.
Unique Design
Simply place a screwdriver, pen, or tent stake (not included) in the center hole of the antenna to act as an axle. As you hold the axle, walk towards your operating location, letting the spool unwind as you go!
For Wherever Adventure Takes You
Whether you're deep in the backcountry or setting up in your backyard, SPOOLTENNA is designed to get you on the air quickly and easily.
