Our 7m poles are perfect for lightweight portable radio operating. They represent the optimum balance between weight and height for applications where the poles must be carried to site. Longer poles are hard to manage in many conditions.
Note that we usually glue on the base cap of the 7m pole, as otherwise it tends to work loose and fall off. If this is a problem, please leave a note in the "Order Comments" box when checking out and we should be able to supply an unglued one.
Base caps on 10m poles are not glued. The top and base caps are push fit on the current 7m and 10m poles, but tend to stay on a bit better on the 10m poles.
Dimensions and weights approximate. Poles may differ from the pictures in colour.

Applications
All our poles will support a lightweight longwire or dipole antenna with ease and are readily erected by one person. They will stand a moderate wind if properly erected. Each pole comes complete with a set of instructions and our suggestions on how they might be used.
Other Uses
These poles are also ideal as the top section for home-station vertical antennas.
A few people have purchased them for use as quad spreaders. People have also bought them to use as elements for lightweight HF yagis - six poles would make a near full-sized 3 element beam for 20/30m if attached to a suitable boom. Four poles could make a nice "Moxon Rectangle" antenna. One person bought four poles to use at the end of the elements of his 80m yagi!

Good, strong pole for portable use
My 7m SOTA pole has been out quite a few times lately, and has always been great. Well-made, easy to use, and just the right size. If you do any sort of portable operation, you really should have one of these.

A must have item for portable operation
An excellent quality pole that is everything I hoped it would be. Easy to use and stayed up for 3 days when used with a 20-30-40 Band Hopper III. Delivery was quick and the pole came well packaged.

Survived Gale force 8 in the Shetlands!
Delighted with the 10M version of this pole. Its been with me up to the most northerly of the Shetland Isles -- UNST. It survived force 8 gales and being bent at almost 90 degrees with no ill effects! Neat, tidy and easy to put up. Treat yourself to the storage bag when you buy one. Its worth it.

Excellent
Far better product than others I've bought - erected easily and worked into the USA first time of using. A1

Nice and simple
Does exactly what it says on the tin. I would endorse the comment made by a reviewer of the 10m pole though, and add a piece of sponge or foam rubber in the lower end cap to mitigate against damage in the event of a pole collapse. Other than that I am very happy with my purchase. Packing and delivery were top notch, which appears to be the norm for SOTA in general.

Sota 10m pole
Took no time at all to receive the pole. I am using it as a permanent Hf antenna support Am very highly satisfied with this product, should have bought one years ago. Thanks for a great pole and superb service.

SOTA 10m pole
The pole arrived very promptly and safely. I am using it as a permanent antenna support and have used Araldite on all the joints as suggested by Richard. It all went together without any problem and now looks good as a vertical, actually supporting a 7.62m 'no counterpoise' antenna. Thanks for a great pole and good service.

Lightweight but sturdy
The new 10m pole from SOTA Beams is just what I needed! Now I can make a full quarter wave vertical for 7Mhz with no trouble at all.
-
10m SOTA pole
It came very quickly and was well packed. The instruction leaflet (and video on the SOTAbeam web site) are very clear and understandable. I intend to use my pole as part of a vertical for the new 472kHz band

SOTA pole Next Day
Needed a SOTA pole in a hurry for a boating holiday, an Email ensured I had one the next day. It supported a 10 meter wire fed against water on the boat. It thrashed a few trees but survived to tell the tail. 10 watts from my 703 got me all around Europe and UK and even into the US. Super solution. Thank you.
