Transformer Holder With Wire Winder

Description

My take on the traditional X-configuration transformer mount wire winder. It’s designed for QRP operations, and lightweight enough to be put on a mast. This configuration allows for a wide variety of antenna builds.

Assembly Notes

I used a combination of FT83-43 and FT50-83 toroids for this build. Easy mounting of the toroids and also added holes to thread wire through to allow strain relief for the soldered joints. Multiconfiguration compatible so you can build it as a 1:1 dipole, or you can build it as an EFHW/EFRW antenna with counterpoise as well.

Notes

The wire winder has mounting holes to allow for more versatile mounting options dependant on your field terrain where you are operating!
