Innovative Solutions for Amateur Radio Enthusiasts
When we are not helping clients develop their ideas, there is nothing better than being able to get off the beaten track and explore the fantastic country that is Australia. For this reason, we have developed a number of products that improve antenna installation.
Field Antenna Stand
We couldn’t find a Field Antenna Stand that met the rugged Australian conditions and was Australian made, so we designed one. The Forcene Field Antenna Stand does not come with pictured spring (this is for illustrative purposes only).

Antenna Ground Mount Kit/Base Station
Allows you to quickly mount your HF antenna to your newly installed antenna ground mount. The design utilises a standard 65x65x3mm SHS gal fence post. The kit comes with all mounting brackets and screws to fix it to your SHS post once installed. The antenna brackets have been designed to allow you to take down your antenna when not in use, by disconnecting coax and simply loosening the antenna mounting bolts and sliding action in upwards direction. Simple antenna removal.
