Custom-Built Wire Dipole Antennas – Made and Tested in New Zealand
At The Ham Shack, we have over 40 years of experience in installing and building HF Amateur Radio systems, and we bring that expertise to every wire dipole antenna we craft. Designed and tested specifically for New Zealand conditions, our antennas offer unbeatable performance for both home use and field operations.
Our dipoles are constructed using premium 24×0.2mm stranded wire (18/19 AWG), which provides excellent conductivity and flexibility. The wire is finished with durable green PVC insulation, making it weather-resistant and perfect for long-term outdoor use. Each antenna is finished with heat shrink at the key connection points for added protection and reliability.
Currently we have three options available, that are made and ready to purchase. These include the 5 Band Dipole Antenna capable of doing (80m - 40m - 20m, - 15m - 10m), a 4 Band Dipole Antenna capable of doing (40m, - 20m, - 15m, 10m) and a Single Band 40m Dipole Antenna. Don't fret though, if you are wanting something else, just send us an email to discuss and we are happy to put something together for you.

Customer Reviews
I got my hands on one of these THS DL40 Antennas a couple of weeks back and have had the opportunity now to use it on a couple of POTA activations and disaster preparedness events. The antenna works well and the the SWR was down around 1:1 on the 40M band, with great signal reports. The build quality of the antenna is great, and the quick disconnect links were well built and easy to use. A big thanks to Greg and the team for the amazing work, it is great to see a NZ made product and I look forward to many more activations using it
