Win a Rigger HT Stand
17 April 2012 | by AmateurRadio.com is offering a free prize drawing!
With the help of our very generous sponsor,
Gary, N5BI in Macon, Georgia,
we’re giving away
The Rigger
All licensed hams in the U.S. are eligible to enter
Shipping to the US is included.
Originally designed for County EOC’s and Police Departments, to save their portable radios from being knocked onto the floor, the Rigger is the perfect addition to your shack or a remote high power station in the field.
This is a US$22 value.
Enter now to win!
With over 3000 units sold, The Original Rigger is back into production after a 10 year production break. This HT Stand does it all. Of course it’s a portable HT stand, with a handle for portability that doubles as a microphone holder, with space for a swr/pwr meter, and a shelf for that brick amplifier to boost your HT from 5 watts to 40, or a small lead acid battery for extended operations. Add an external antenna and your station is in portable mode.
It’s base is 1/4″ steel measuring 5″ x 5″ and a 16 gauge steel riser. They apply 2 layers of automotive primer, 2 coats of flat black enamel, and one coat of clear acrylic to make sure it lasts for many years to come. The last picture is of the very first production Rigger, and it is over 15 years old and has been used every day. No assembly required. With its heavy duty construction, it won’t tip over and it always presents your HT digital readout and keypad in a most ideal position.
(radios and other equipment, not included!)
The Rigger is Guaranteed for life. If it breaks, accidentally of course, they’ll replace it..you just ship the broken Rigger to them and they’ll ship a replacement back to you, no charge.
To learn more about it, check out The Rigger online at
www.therigger.net

Just what I need!
This would be the perfect place for the HT during work hours.
I want one. Hope I win.
Very Cool!
That would look good on my desk. 🙂
If I don’t win, where can I buy some???
I need one of these for my Alinco DJ-175 or my old workhorse Realistic HTX-202.I’ve owned the HTX-202 for 15 years now and it still works like a champ!
That would be useful.
That’s neat! I would like one, my HT is balanced on top of a computer most of the time… Just asking for a disaster, now that you point it out.

John, W9JGO
Tnx Gary, N5BI in Macon, Georgia, for your kind generosity.
I could surely use one. 73.
Having dropped my HT on occasion, this would be a welcome addition to the shack!
Never saw one of these before, but it looks like it would come in handy!
I will be looking for these, great idea.
Hams need this! It’s a safe, effective way to keep the handheld radio ready for use and to monitor the activity when a possible ARES/RACES, SKYWARN or other communications emergency may be imminent.
Nice work, Rigger!
Great HT stand. Thanks for the opportunity.

on my desk. My XYL would approve!
A really nice prize that would be great to own.
Looking forward to seeing who the winner is and I hope it might be me!
Looks like a great idea for use with any HT….
I too hope it’s me. This would be a great addition to my small shack! Could work for mobile as well.
This would help clean up my shamper a little.

That looks like a very fine piece of equipment and I can see where it would sure help my HT’s look better than they do now from rolling around the floorboard of my pickup. Ya’ll keep up the great work.
Looks like a great way to sort out my desk top.
Nice shack accessory.
Me Me Me, Pick Me. We could have used this this past Saturday at our Public Service event when the Net Control’s HT kept tipping over….
Thanks for bringing back the Rigger!
Would make it easier to use my HT
That would look good in my shack :o)

A great prize and very useful in the shack or in the field. Thank you.
Very Nice Wed……
Looks like a neat rig
This stand looks great. It would work great sitting in the back of my SUV, working public service events. My fingers are crossed.
Looks great to me. I sure could use one. 73, Alan
I could definitly use one of these, I connect my handheld to an external antenna & I try laying it on the armrest of my recliner. The radio usually slides down into the chair. I end up leaning against it & pushing buttons on the keypad.
73’s Joe KB3PHL
i could so use this. already have a spot picked out for it!
Nice looking device
Well done! Looks as if it will be a very useful tool.
Looks great
I need this for my ft60r
A clever solution
It will be difficult to decide which of my 6 HT’s get to sit in the mount.
Looks like it would be a handy device to have in the shack, at the office, a public service event …!
I wish I had one of these for a year already, then my Wouxun wouldn’t have hit the floor so many times. 🙁 Oh well, maybe soon. 😉 73, Larry
Yeah! Another drawing.
Excellent looking product. I hope my Yeasu FT-270 will fit on the Rigger.
Hello this would come in handy for so many things. In some events I could set it on the hood of my car or on the small table by my small table that I use for events when i take my chair to sit in.. great product..
I’d like to win.
This is exactly what i have been searching for!
What a great, useful product; would love to have one.
Would be a great addition to the shack.
Sounds like a very durable and useful product. Glad to hear the manufacturer is a VET. I am a VET also.
The rigger looks like a practical accessory for the shack or in the field.

I could really use this! No more wondering where the HT is, or laying it on tables. An upgrade for any HT. Thanks!!
Looking good, looks very practical to have. I could envision it in the car, also.
73,

Thank you for your generousity Gary
how
very nice !
Have multiple HTs, and a HH scanner.
Never seen The Rigger before…looks very useful.
Looks like a nifty way to tidy things up to me.
Someone had A Good Idea
Great Idea, my HT falls over all the time!
I have a place all picked out on my desk at work for my winning entry…
This is a welcome return to the ham and public safety radio market. I’ve seen many homemade versions, but nothing quite like the original.
Wow! This would be great. No more looking under the mess to find the HT.
I build something like this years ago, but it never quite fit anything right. It would be cool to have one that actually is usable.

Sir
If your going to give one away,I’ll take one. I have a Yaesu VX5. I also have the SWR bridge MFJ 844?. It’s dinged up,but the VX5 is ok. I’ll pay shipping. If I don’t use it or I don’t like I’ll send it back.
Thank You

This looks neat. I have never had anything like it!
I’m so tired of balancing my HT against a book. Please pick me since I’m pitiful and can’t afford the luxury of convenience! f, k2ncc
Very clever invention!
The stand would be perfect in my shack!
cool awesome looking product — would look nice on the desk to hold my ht instead of it just sitting atop my base rig!! — neat looking stuff
KJ4VYI – Chad
Looks “Nifty”…..could weld one up myself and have it powdercoated but, HEY ! Winning one would be cool!
Thanks
Sir…you’re gonna have to stop that.
But why?
I’m trying to examine your feet.
Have looked at these in the past, have made several of my own, would love to have a good way to have my HT on the desk.
Something so simple provides many uses. I like it.
I’d love to win this Rigger!
Nice addition to a Go-Kit!
If I win this I will have to obtain an HT! Hmmmm?
Ooops! Just turned 90 this month so naturally I finger-checked the Email address. Got it right this time. SRI.
This is a good addition to anyone who works in the emergency communication field.
Now that’s neat! would love one.
Great Idea, then I would know where I left my HT!!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win a Rigger HT stand.
Good Luck everyone!
THIS IS GREAT
Having had my HT hit the floor several times, causing damage to the power connector one time, I can see the value of this product. Even if I do not win, I will look towards purchasing one- Got to be less expensive than repairs!
i wish more people or clubs would have little giveaways like this one. keeps it fun.
Interesting. Looks like a useful product.
looks like a nice stand for your radios
Better looking than the block of wood I made.
Yes! I want to WIN! Something I haven’t done for a number of years. 😉
de KL7IBV
Neat device. Would love to win one!
Nice
Looks like a great product!
Nice looking stand. Would look even better with my HT on it. If I don’t win, I will be placing an order for one or two.
Very nice setup for a ht. As far as my needs it would work great. Hope I win. I have had a stroke and am very inhibited in many ways. I would make good use of it. However if I do not win it I say congrats to the one who does.
Beautiful stand, works on all HTs and scanners..thank you..Tom
I want it! 73
