Ham Goodies

Welcome to Ham Goodies

Now in our 10th year, we offer a variety of Amateur Radio bits 'n' pieces for not only the Shack, but also a range of outdoor portable kit. Our Baluns are made in our workshop and therefore pride is taken in using not only the best quality materials - but also the right materials. See About Us for more details.

We ship to the UK (inc.Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Islands) only. Click here for information on postage and rates. You can select Royal Mail 24 or 48 for postage. Some items, particularly ferrites, attract a quantity discount - ideal for club/group buys.

Baluns are our thing - you'll find various Balun and Choke solutions here. We believe that using the right ferrite size (and material) is important. Shown on the right is a 2xFT240-31 using RG142 coax - an ideal solution for high-power.

For most Dipole/Doublet/G5RV installations up to 100w, we suggest this lightweight 1:1 Choke/Balun.

Ferrites: We keep a good stock all kinds of ferrite toroids for your own projects. If you're not sure which Balun or Ferrite Toroid is best for your situation - we've produced a handy reference page to help.

If there's something strange on your waterfall... The 31-mix "Problem-Solver is great at choking-off cables, preventing RF nasties from travelling along cables/wires. Best practice is to apply these at the source, but significant improvements can be made with experimentation.

FREE CHIRP CSV File - We offer a free CSV file to load into CHIRP which contains all UK GB3/GB7/MB-callsign repeaters. Over 1000 entries ready for you to copy/paste into a new memory file for your radio.

Winter is on the way, so why not make sure your HF aerial is ready for the elements: These chunky Dipole egg-style insulators are designed for big/long Dipoles/Doublets.

A cheeky wire down the garden to keep the neighbours happy? Our End-Fed Coupler offers a low-profile solution to HF operating and comes in 3 sizes for different power-levels: You can use a "half-wave" wire for a band of interest or get creative with a multi-band solution - details are included.
