I chose these poles to fix to the back of my shed they are light weight and slot easily together so that they are easy to separate if I need to do any adjustment at the top

Since becoming a new Foundation Licence holder in July, I have been continuously modifying my set up to enable me to access as many bands as possible. My initial ‘stealth’ HF loop antenna around my garden wall/fence worked well on quite a few bands. The downside was that although reception was good, the lack of height meant the transmission was not up to par. As suggested by amateur friends I needed to get some height into the wire. I initially tried using some 7m telescopic fibreglass flagpoles, but their flexibility proved an issue. I replaced one of the flagpoles with this 6m (20’) medium duty aluminium set which immediately solved the sagging problem. Suffice to say I purchased 3 further sets, 4 in all, and my HF transmissions are much better. The grade of aluminium is sufficiently strong to keep the wire from drooping too much. The upside will be that I can use the poles elsewhere when I need to. A great set and we’ll worth the money.
