Counterpoise reel kit for Ham Radio

thingiverse

This is a compact kit for rapidly deploying radials with Ham radio antennas. Modeled after the Racal PRC-320 drum kit, it consists of four reels that hold nine meters each of 0.5mm^2 wire. A central base serves as storage and connection point for these reels. Each length of wire features a terminal ring attached, allowing easy connection to the central piece on the base. The base itself can be connected directly to an antenna or radio requiring radials for operation. Reels can be staked into the ground using holes provided to prevent radial movement, or secured in place with ties to keep them elevated when not in use.
