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!

SOTA pole
Arrived within 2 days of order well packed. Very clear easy to follow instructions. Make sure you follow the advice to practise in the garden or in a park before you climb any mountains! # I am using my pole to support the Band Hopper II and my garden was too small to be able to guy it successfully. I had 2 attempts in the local park and am pleased that I did as the first attempt proved that you should pick a clear area with no tall weeds to tangle with. Delighted with results - very light to carry. Definitely recommend for SOTA.
