Hand spool for counterpoise wires. Suggested configuration:
1) Crimp + solder a ring terminal to one end of the counterpoise, and mount it to the spool with an M3 nylon locknut and screw using the recessed nut hole. There's spots for 4 counterpoise mounts if case you want to cut different lengths for different frequency bands, but I only use one per spool to prevent tangling, and then label the wire at different lengths.
2) Spool up your wire(s).
3) Crimp + solder another terminal to the other end; use whatever is appropriate for your antenna setup. This is the end you'll attach near your antenna feedline.
4) To keep the wire from unspooling, you can use some winguts (optionally washers) to capture the feedline end into the provided slots. I use a simple set of 2 wingnuts, a nylon locknut capturing one of the wingnuts below a screw screwhead (as pictured above) so I can attach/detach in the field without tools.
5) Finally, there is a 4mm hole longitudinally along the spoo
