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, Northern Ireland, Channel Islands and Isle of Man. Orders are sent Royal Mail "Tracked" at £3.75 (48hr) or £4.85 (24hr) for up to 2kg with a small increase for heavier/bulky orders. Click here for postage/shipping rates.

Some items, particularly ferrites, attract a quantity discount making them ideal for club or group buys.

2x FT240-31 Choke/Isolator with 12-turns of RG142 Baluns are our thing - and you'll find various Balun and Choke solutions here. We believe that using the right ferrite size (and material) is important. We keep a good stock all kinds of ferrites for your own projects.

Want to go QRO? - featuring 2x FT240-31 and 12-turns of RG142 (example pictured), this can be specified as part of our 1:1 Dipole Balun , Doublet/G5RV Choke and Choke/Isolator products. This is an ideal choice if you're regularly running 400-watts (or more) and want good low-band (<10MHz) performance.

For most Dipole/Doublet/G5RV installations up to 100-watts, we suggest this lightweight 1:1 Choke/Balun. For higher power, 9-turns on an FT240-31 is the best all-round solution. Our handy reference page includes all you need to know about your next Balun or Ferrite purchase.
