"TINY-TENNA"
The "TINY-TENNA" will often outperform more expensive active antenna's.

Just slip this cassette-style cartridge into your vehicle's cassette stereo, and take the audio cord from the cartridge and plug that into your shortwave radio's earphone jack. And BINGO! Beautiful shortwave audio through your car stereo's speaker system! Works with ANY shortwave radio and ANY cassette tape player! It also saves on your radio's battery life since you use the audio amplifier of the vehicle's cassette system. Just barely turn up the volume on the shortwave radio, and use the cassette player's volume control to adjust your listening sound levels. AND... use the cassette player's tone (bass & treble) controls to enhance the audio sound coming from the shortwave radio! You may have seen devices like this at your local department store. The problem with those adapters is that they only play through ONE SIDE of your speaker system, if your shortwave radio isn't equipped with a stereo headphone jack. We've included the adaptations with our unit! ATTENTION HAM OPERATORS! You know how puny the audio level sounds from your 2 meter HT or mobile rig. Tap into the audio power of your vehicle's cassette tape player! Get a "car full" of the station you're in QSO with!
ONLY $29.95 "The "YO-YO-TENNA"
And no silly antenna jack adapter for this wind-up antenna! A sturdy alligator clip is soldered to the end of the #22 gauge insulated antenna wire. Just clip it to your portable shortwave radio's whip antenna. It's that easy! Satisfaction guaranteed! The "YO-YO-TENNA" was named by my son Jeffrey,
who said it's appearance
ONLY $17.95
The "TINY-TENNA" amplifier is an all-band circuit that operates on long-wave, medium-wave (AM broadcast band) and short-wave. We've also been told the "TINY-TENNA" gives amazing results on FM stereo's and police scanners! The "TINY-TENNA" circuit operates on a readily available nine volt battery. (Not included.) It can also operate on a very inexpensive AC adapter available from any appliance, department or electronic store. Our "YO-YO-TENNA" wind-up reel antenna has TWICE the amount of antenna wire that these other so-called wind-up reel antenna's have! Forty feet! Simply unwind all or part of the wire for a GUARANTEED improvement in reception! You can even run your “Combo-Tenna” reel section outdoors, for even better reception results! Disconnect your battery and just use the reel section for those stronger than strong domestic stations. Sure. You can by a separate “Tiny-Tenna” and “Yo-Yo-Tenna”. But why do that when we’ve made the “Combo-Tenna” less expensive!

Yo-Yo-TENNA Deluxe
The 'YO-YO-TENNA DELUXE' Portable Dipole Antenna System Two wind-up "fishing reel" style antennas make up this fantastic little gizmo. Each reel contains 40 feet of sturdy, durable, insulated multi-strand wire. This gives you coverage from 2 through 40 meters! Some folks are "stacking" the reels (connecting additional YO-YO-TENNA's in a series...) to get coverage from 80 to 160 meters! The reel's wiring connects to a high quality silver coated PL-259 coax connector. Strain relief for the wires is accomplished with a length of insulated tubing joined to a PL-259 reducer. Plugs directly into your transceiver...or...into your antenna turner for easy, no 'wire length adjustment' operation! Great for Field Day, camping, vacations, and business trips! And because of its quick set-up and take-down, it's perfect for apartments and condos! ONLY $37.95 BUT WAIT! We didn't leave out you short-wave listening enthusiasts! We've got two models just for you at the SAME LOW PRICE! (Along with the applicable shipping charges.) Model YYTD-RCA uses an RCA phono plug for connection to your short-wave radio. This is designed to match the external antenna jack on such models as the Sangean 803 and the Radio Shack DX-440 and DX-394. Also can be used with certain older Heathkit transmitters and receivers. Model YYTD-PHN uses a 1/8" phone plug (earphone
size) to connect to your radio's 1/8" phone style external antenna
jack. This jack is found on such models as the Radio Shack
DX-390, DX-392, DX-398, & DX-399. The Sagean 505, 818,
818CS, & 909, the Sony 2010 & 7600, and the Grundig YB-400...to
just name a few. Note: We've had several inquiries asking how much power our YO-YO-TENNA DELUXE will accept. To be very honest, we've never gone over the 100 watt limit. Why? We just didn't think a lot of people took along their amps during portable operations! But it is a basic WIRE DIPOLE antenna. Thus I assume it will accept quite a bit of power. In other words, we didn't build this solely for QRP'ers. 73, Bill - WA8MEA Satisfaction guaranteed and "Made in the USA!"

- Ask for Model Type -- YYTD-259 Yo-Yo-Vee
WHY spend HUNDREDS for portability?? HamRadioFun.com offers you YOUR BEST DEAL when it comes to portable and emergency !! HamRadioFun.com has taken its "Yo-Yo Tenna Deluxe" and added a feature to make Inverted Vee operation an easier and less time consuming experience! They've added the famous Budwig center insulator to a pair of “YoYo-Tenna” wind-up antenna reels to make connection of PL-259 coax connector/cable a breeze! Set-up is SO easy! Just extend the length of wire in each reel to the band of operation needed. (Example: 40 meter operation requires approximately 33 feet of extended wire per reel, adjusting the length for minimum SWR.) The antenna wire is made of #22 annealed multi-strand copper wire with PVC insulation. Sturdier than many deep-sea fishing lines! The "Yo-Yo-Vee" covers 2 through 40 meters. Additional single reels can be purchased (ONLY $17.95 each!) in pairs to cover 75/80 meters (Two additional reels.) and 160 meters. (Four additional reels.) Complete instructions included, along with tips on inexpensive portable center supports for your “Yo-Yo-Vee” Of course, the famous “Yo-Yo-Tenna Deluxe” Portable Dipole Antenna is still available for operation straight out of your rig, tuner or for other antenna configurations.

The Model
4 and Model 6 "Yo- Yo-Vee" WHY SPEND HUNDREDS FOR
PORTABILITY??
Now we KNOW that the "Yo-Yo-Vee" is a multiband antenna in itself. But you can only adjust for one band at a time. But these models let you operate two bands or three bands at once, without the aid of a lossy tuner! The specs are pretty much the same regarding these versions of the "Yo-Yo-Vee" antenna, except we've added extra reels to our Budwig center insulator. Covers 40 through 2 meters. Additional pairs of reels need to be purchased for 60-75-80 meter operation (Two reels) or 160 meters. (Four reels.) See "Yo-Yo-Tenna" for information and price on single reels. The "Yo-Yo-Vee Model 4" is ONLY $57.95! The "Yo-Yo-Vee Model 6" is ONLY $69.95!

ONLY $34.95 The "TRAVEL-TENNA" Mobile Shortwave Antenna
We know you've tried it. Heck, we've even tried it. Maneuvering your portable shortwave radio's whip antenna out of the passenger window, trying desperately to get better reception. This really doesn't work since your radio... and most of the whip antenna is STILL stuck inside your all metal vehicle! And it's "all that metal" that attenuates your radio's reception. You need to get the antenna OUTSIDE of your vehicle. And that's where the "TRAVEL-TENNA" comes in! The "TRAVEL-TENNA" is a center-loaded telescopic whip antenna that's firmly and securely attached to an amateur radio vhf/uhf antenna mount. This mount gently slips over your open passenger window... and upon closing the window... is able to stay firmly in place at even the highest highway speeds and gusty winds! The antenna's coaxial feed-line helps to eliminate annoying engine noise. And the antenna comes with enough connectors to fit ANY model of shortwave radio. Yes... even portable radios with no external antenna jack! No... you won't get "longwire" performance with this device. But you WILL get MUCH better reception than trying to use your radio's own whip antenna inside your vehicle. And that's GUARANTEED! Also comes with a one year repair or replace warranty.

ONLY $39.95 The "PILL BOTTLE ANTENNA TUNER"
The "PILL BOTTLE ANTENNA TUNER" is constructed with two rugged parts. The tuner's inductor coil form is a 1 1/2 inch diameter "pill bottle". (Thus lending the tuner its name.) The "pill bottle" is wound with high quality #22 insulated wire and tapped at various intervals along the coil to cover 3 to 30 MHz. (80 through 10 meters) An alligator clip is used to tap the individual bands of operation. Tuning for the lowest SWR (for transmitting purposes) or for best reception (for shortwave listening) is accomplished with a durable variable capacitor. The coil and capacitor are mounted on beautifully etched and crafted "hobby wood" from the "Michael's" chain of craft stores. Connections to the antenna and radio are made with old style fahnestock clips. A variety of antenna designs have been tested with this tuner. Experimentation is encouraged. The tuner has been tested to over 150 watts without arcs or sparks! The "PILL BOTTLE ANTENNA TUNER" is also a great addition to the shortwave listener's monitoring post. It can be connected to the shortwave receiver to help peak critical signals. And it also helps to reduce annoying spurious image signals created by signal overload, a common occurrence in many of today's shortwave radio's. A GREAT little tuner for both ham radio and shortwave use. Use it high power transmit... or low power QRP operation. Use it with new radios... or old "boat anchors". It's STILL the lowest priced tuner on the market today! Not a kit! Completely assembled and bench tested before shipment! Satisfaction guaranteed PLUS HamRadioFun.com famous "Lifetime Repair or Replace" warranty!

Let’s use what we have learned--some hams were prepared, most were not!
Recently, some ham magazines began promoting "Emergency Stations" costing well over a thousand dollars, some having questionable utility. We whole heartedly agree that there is a need, but believe an effective, low cost, low power consumption alternative which can be quickly placed into service in the event of a wide area emergency situation is a better approach. So, we now offer a complete station for less than $200.00! Our station consists of 1)
a portable Sangean 505 full coverage SSB/CW receiver,
After you add batteries, you will possess a complete basic emergency station with everything you need to communicate with the outside world in the event of an emergency, disaster or terrorist strike. Not shown is the room underneath the board to store the Sangean receiver, antennas, extra batteries, crystals, etc. The EMERGENCY HAM STATION is ONLY $199! *With

Our
Telephone Lines Are Open Once Again!
The
"TINY-TENNA" is an all-band indoor active (amplified) antenna that
operates on longwave, mediumwave (AM broadcast band) and shortwave.
And it's also been reported that the "TINY-TENNA" gives amazing
results on FM stereo's and police scanner's! 
Now
you can EASILY connect your shortwave radio to your vehicle's tape
player speakers! Beautiful, rich audio from your portable shortwave
radio! 
The
names kinda funny... but HamRadioFun.com decided to get serious
about wind-up antenna's. Most of the wind-up antenna's marketed
today are constructed very flimsily and are just too short. But
our "YO-YO-TENNA" wind-up reel antenna has TWICE the amount of antenna
wire that these other so-called wind-up reel antenna's have! Forty
feet. 
We’ve
combined two of our best selling antennas to make one unique and
highly effective “super-tenna”! We’ve taken the PC amplifier board
of the Tiny-Tenna amplified antenna, and combined it with out Yo-Yo-Tenna
wind-up reel antenna. The result? A better combination than ham
and cheese, arts and crafts, AM and FM or Abbot and Costello! 
INTRODUCING!
One of the most UNIQUE portable antennas ever developed! Yet,
it is SO basic...and SO easy to use! 
The
"TRI-DI-POLE" is a shortwave dipole antenna of a unique design.
We know that grounding your shortwave radio is a difficult and clumsy
task. Most of today's portable shortwave radios have extremely small
antenna jacks. It's hard enough securing your antenna feed-line
to the connector... let alone adding another wire for grounding.
So HamRadioFun.com has added the original option of grounding your
receiver... AT THE ANTENNA! By adding a third element... or wire...
to the "ground" side of the dipole, you can then conveniently ground
your radio at the base of the dipole installation! 
Now
it really IS possible to listen to your portable shortwave radio
inside your car, van or truck! 
What makes our 40 meter CW-QRP transmitter so different from all the others? Our transmitter is FULLY ASSEMBLED! NOT A KIT! In essence, we give you an ASSEMBLED transmitter for LESS MONEY than most QRP kits! No more lost parts, as with kits. No more typo errors in the instructions, as with kits. But wait, there's more! We supply you with information on how you can build your very own "PEANUT WHISTLE TWO" for 30 meters!
We're
gonna take those shortwave signals... and TRAP them inside your
radio where they belong! 
A
truly unique and fully operational novelty item that's made in the
spirit of the "old timer". 
“FIFTY
USES FOR BUNGEE CORDS!”
Nobody
wants to be stuck for days in their own home without electricity,
having no telephone, no TV, no radio...and after a short time...no
cell phone. There is absolutely no reason for any licensed
ham to be without essential communication in such situations!
