The Reel POTA-ble end fed half wave antenna makes deployment a breeze as it is built into a chalk-string marker. Just reel out and reel in the antenna to your desired frequency. Fully deployed, it is a resonant 40 meter EFHW multiband antenna that also works on 20, 15, and 10 meters without a tuner.
