Antenna System Materials, Component, and Services Suppliers
Updated 8 July 2011
The following tables list manufacturers of several categories of antenna-related
materials, components, and services. The contact information list is arranged
alphabetically by company name. For manufacturers of complete antennas and
antenna systems and distributors or dealers of items listed in this table, the
reader should consult the advertisers section of the Antenna Book or QST
magazine.
Products and product lines change often so be sure to use current information
from print catalogs or on-line listings. Distributors often attend major hamfests
and can be contacted in person there. Most suppliers are rated by fellow
amateurs in the Product Review section of eHam.com.
Antenna products for repeaters are listed separately in the Repeater Antenna
Systems chapter of the Antenna Book .
Every effort has been made to ensure that this list is complete and accurate as of
mid-2011. The ARRL takes no responsibility for errors or omissions. A listing
here does not represent an endorsement of a manufacturer or product by the
ARRL. Refer to the product reviews in QST for descriptions of products of
interest. To the best of our knowledge the suppliers listed are willing to sell
products to amateurs unless indicated otherwise. This list is updated periodically
on the ARRL's web page for the Antenna Book. Check ads in QST and other
Amateur Radio publications for changes. Suppliers who wish to be listed or
update their information should contact the editors.
