NEW....EZ1
Exciting developments at Bantenna....the new EZ1 antenna will be launched soon. You thought the sleeve was simple? Watch this space.
Here at Bantenna I aim to get you the best results from real-world aerials anyone can use. I don't make false promises or try to sell you black magic...we just put wire to work!
Sold all over the globe (or flat earth, depending on your views)
I've just had to make changes to postage rates because Parcel Force have changed theirs. I apologise for this but it is what it is. I try to keep prices as low as sensible, but materials as well as postage have sky rocketed.
A new video...Sleeve compared to 155ft Doublet.
I've had a few people ask me about the recently added line of VHF antennas I make. Unlike the extremely popular Silm Jim style of Travellin' Jim and Funky Jim, the VHF white stick type is housed in a waterproof plastic tube and is the dualband (2m and 70cm) 'flowerpot' type of antenna.
These aerials work well - I use one as my main 2m / 70cm vertical here at YVM Towers - but need a mast really. You could hang it in a tree. but then the Travellin' Jim might be easier for that. Anyway, I make these to order as I usually do so if you want one just use the shop pages please.

Sleeve antenna news...
Well, some exciting news here (if you're sad about aerials like me)...I am testing a new way of building the wire into the cloth that should cut build times drastically. This means that order lead times should fall!!! Ive made five in the new way today to test the water and got them largely built in the time it takes to make one or two usually. Ive got one outside now for weather testing and on 40m a quick call has spotted me by MM3NDH. That's at 150w which I hope tests the unun for you high duty digiboys and girls!

Hover your mouse over the image opposite to show the image toolbar. Image Settings lets you choose an image from your library, or upload a new one, and change related settings. The crop tool lets you select the Aspect Ratio, or proportions, of your image and position the image within the space. You can also drag and drop images directly from your computer on to this page, and they will be uploaded to your image library automatically.
