End Fed Random Wire Antenna (EFRW)
The "Mosquitos End Fed Random Wire Antenna" is designed and built for the Portable Operators, the POTA Community, the Emergency Communications Operators. And well, just for those that like the great outdoors.
With its relatively small size, it can fit in even the smallest pockets of your radio Go-Bags, yet can be one of your most effective antennas. It can be easily deployable in different configurations. It's been field tested by our POTA, and portable operation enthusiasts.
And built with quality material. From the stainless steel hardware, to the reputable companies that we source our toroids from. Down to the wire that we source from Sotabeams, in the UK. An absolutely incredible product from a great company. Our products are hand made right here in the "Good Old USA" by "Ham Radio Operators."
