Wonderwand: Portable antenna for 7-430 MHz
The Wonder Wand provides a simple and efficient means of improving the performance of you portable HF amateur radio transceiver when compared to the antenna normally supplied with the set. Operation is simplicity itself.
The Wonder Wand has been made as compact as possible, without compromising performance. Just pop it in a bag with your rig when going for a walk in the countryside or take it camping. Enjoy radio in the great outdoors without the hassle of erecting more complex antennas.
Designed with the Yaesu FT 817 and FT 897 in mind, the Wonder Wand can also be used on other low power HF radios up to a maximum output power of 25 watts P.E.P. The new MKII Wonder wand features a 1.3m black whip and a higher Q toroid for even greater performance.
HF Operation
Connect the Wonder Wand directly to the antenna SO239 socket on the rear of your radio. If the radio has a selectable front / rear antenna function don't forget to select the rear socket. Extend the telescopic whip to its maximum length and then position it away from both obstructions and yourself.
Rotate the knob on the rear of the unit to select the desired band of operation between 7Mhz and 50Mhz. The unit is pre-tuned for optimum match on each band so no further adjustment is necessary.
VHF / UHF Operation
For VHF and UHF operation between 50Mhz and 440Mhz the tuning circuit is switched out, the unit becoming a simple whip antenna. It is then necessary to adjust the length of the telescopic whip to obtain the best match on the desired band. This is normally obtained by adjusting the length of the whip to an odd multiple of quarter wavelengths measuring the distance from the PL259 connector on the Wonder Wand.
Wonder-Wand TCS
Tunable Counterpoise System
The Wonder-Wand TCS is a portable ground radial system designed to plug into the 4mm socket on the side of the Wonder-Wand antenna, although it will also work very well with other types of antenna. Quite simply it is a tuning box that interfaces the chassis of the radio to a short 4m counterpoise which is extended out over the ground. The best setting is determined by rotating the control from A - L until a definite increase in received signal is heard. It also has the same effect on transmit.

Wonderwand Combo: QRP Allband Antenna
New
Wonderwand Combo
The Wonder Wand Combo combines the portable antenna unit and tunable counterpoise.
The Wonder Wand has been made as compact as possible, without compromising performance and the Combo is the new member of the family. Just pop it in a bag with your rig when going for a walk in the countryside or take it camping. Enjoy radio in the great outdoors without the hassle of erecting more complex antennas.
The unit can be used with or without the counterpoise wire and good match to the TRX is maintained in both situations, although like any other antenna system it will perform better with the ground wire connected.
In most situations the telescopic whip is fully extended on all HF bands covered unless a substantial ground system is employed.

Wonderpole
Wonderpole is a compact symmetrical dipole for 14 to 28 MHz which is connected directly to the antenna socket of a radio. Extended length nearly 3m, retracted only 30cm, dipole elements with knuckle. Tuning is done like with the Wonderwand (see above) by choosing the best position of the tuning switch, no counterpoise required.
Suitable for FT-817, 857, 897, IC-703, Elecraft K Series and nearly and HF radio with PL socket. Max. power load is 40W.

ATAS-25 Portable antenna
Frequency range: 7/14/21/28/50/144/430MHz, Max Pwr input: HF/50MHz: 100W (SSB/CW), 50W (AM/FM), 144/430MHz: 50W (All mode) Height Max 2.2m, 0.6m for transporting * Weight: 930g. Supplied with radiating elements, radial elements for VHF/UHF, radial wires
+ spare radial wire, Allen key.
The ATAS-25 utilises a manual tuning system which resonates the radiating element for lowest SWR without the need for expensive mono-band resonating whip assemblies. It allows dual frequency operation on HF or 50MHz and either 2m or 70cm (duplexer not supplied). A very handy feature is that the ATAS-25 is designed to mount directly onto a standard camera tripod mount (not supplied) and makes up a portable antenna system ideal for tempory field operation but not recommended for long-term outdoor installation.
For some models, you may wish to purchase a diplexer or triplexer to avoid moving your cable from one antenna jack to another. When using the ATAS-25 with the FT-817, set Menu #07 to REAR for all bands.

Buddipole
The Buddipole is a professionally constructed portable antenna for 40 to 2m which has found a huge popularity worldwide. The exceptionally good quality and care of details make this antenna an ideal companion for vacations and other portable activities. The transport length of the dipole is only 56cm, with a weight of only 900g nearly any pole is suitable for carrying it. A coaxial cable (380cm) with PL and BNC connectors is supplied, equipped with a choke on the antenna side. Power rating: 250W.
Buddipole VersaTee Center
The VersaTee center allows mounting of the dipole with 3/8" threads in 'L', vertical and straight setup. With the optional 'Rotating Arm Kit' (RAK) the dipole elements can be adjusted in 'V' form with nearly any angle. The VersaTee center is mounted on any pole with a 1/2" thread (painters pole, broomstick or the Buddipole masts).
The performance of the Buddipole is excellent: the center loaded coil offers much less losses as other designs. Very enthusiastic user reports show that DX results are easily achieved, even when working QRP.
Included in Buddipole
- 1x VersaTee Center
- 2x Aluminium Dipole tubes
- 2x Coils (40-10m)
- 2x telescopic radiators
- 6x coil clamps

273.47 (265.50) EUR
This is what Buddipole says about the specified power rating of 250 watt:
"This rating is very very conservative. We actually run the Buddipole with 500w on sideband without any problems. One must only be careful to watch the RF off the tips of the antenna. We say 250w to be safe. We did run a full KW through the Buddipole and felt the beads in the coax assembly get hot, as well as the coils! But the antenna continued to operate just fine after a minute or two on SSB."
Buddipole Deluxe Kit
For those asking for even more convenience we offer the Buddipole Deluxe Kit. It contains the Buddipole, a lightweight aluminium mast (240cm), a tripod, an additional radiator, extra coil clamps and the 'rotating Arm Kit' which allows the arbitrary orientation of the dipole elements. A solid nylon bag completes this kit. With this Deluxe Package you have all items at hand, which a required for a protable antenna. The Buddipole Deluxe Package weighs under 5kg and has a transport length of 61cm.

Low Band 80m coil for Buddipole and Buddistick
These are the new low band coils which perform on frequencies to 3.5 mhz.
These coils are best utilized for medium DX contacts in a vertical configuration with single sloping counterpoise. A counterpoise of 20m is recommended.
In the dipole configuration with 2 coils it is recommended to add additional length to the antenna to cover all of the 80m band and to increase bandwidth. Our new long telescopic whips accomplish this.
Because of the high-Q of the coils and the short overall length of the dipole antenna for the low bands, bandwidth is minimized. In order to be able to have some tuning flexibility within the band it is recommended to use a small tuner at the transceiver.
In either the vertical (one coil) or dipole (2 coils) configuration it is necessary to use a balun with significant choking impedance to prevent RF feedback. Our TRSB (Triple-Ratio Switch Balun) is an excellent product for these applications.

3m long telescope for Buddipole and Buddistick
Long and short telescopes (retracted).
These new whips are longer in length -- nearly 10 feet overall! This is an additional 4 feet extra over the standard whips. Used with our Buddipole the overall length of the antenna increases from 16 feet to 24 feet! This additional length increases bandwidth and efficiency, particularly on 40 meters.
As with all of our whips, the base sections feature a double set of crimps which prevents the base section from breaking out under the stress of deploying the antennas in a horizontal configuration.
Collapsed length is 53cm, same as the antenna arms. Extended length is 290cm.
