N9Sab

N9SAB – Brand Review & Overview

N9SAB is a boutique ham radio antenna brand run by amateur operator Tim (callsign N9SAB), specializing in lightweight, portable HF wire antennas for field and home use. Sold primarily online under the Aetherwave Antennas name, his designs include off‑center‑fed dipoles (OCFDs), end‑fed half‑waves (EFHWs), Windom-style multiband antennas, random‑wire setups, and linked dipoles that cover 80–6 m or 40–6 m with a focus on QRP and 100 W operation.

These antennas are known for careful hand construction—using quality tinned copper wire, weatherproofed baluns and ununs, BNC or SO‑239 terminations, and thoughtful hardware that makes deployment in parks, campsites, or small yards easier. Many models are tuned to give usable SWR across multiple HF bands, making them popular with portable operators, POTA and SOTA activators, and hams who want a compact, travel‑friendly antenna that still performs well.

As you explore N9SAB on an amateur radio transceiver site, think about how and where you operate: a 40–6 m OCFD or Windom for a simple multiband base or portable setup, an ultralight 80–6 m OCFD or EFHW for backpacking and field events, or a linked dipole when you prefer resonant, tuner‑free operation on specific bands. Choosing the right N9SAB antenna can give you a highly packable, well‑built solution that gets you on the air quickly and efficiently from almost anywhere.
