25' Portable Telescoping Aluminum Radio Antenna Tower Mast New These are actually flag poles, but they make extremely good portable ham radio antennas. Because they telescope and are held together with pins, they are more secure than a lot of other portable antennas. They also assemble and disassemble quickly if you're doing emergency work. Unless you have extremely high winds or a very heavy antenna, you shouldn't need any guy wires if the base is secure. Here's what the manufacturer has to say: It has the strength of a solid aluminum pole with the transportability and price of a standard telescoping pole 152% Stronger Aluminum: 14-gauge aircraft aluminum tubing in a wider 3-inch diameter base plus 50% thicker gives it strength Anodized Outer Shell: This pole is black for more than just a sleek look. The anodizing method we used gives a hardness rating second to only diamonds, protecting the metal from wear and tear while making it harder at the same time Pin & Pinch Locking System: This proprietary system uses metal pins to lock sections in place and a pinching sleeve to keep the telescoping sections sturdy and secure the pins It has a 18" plastic pipe sleeve that the pole slides into to anchor it. The sleeve can be attached to the side of a trailer or pickup bed with u-bolts or large hose clamps to give a firm quick mount The whole 5 section assembly retracts to 78", so it is easy to transport and ready to extend Length: 25' extended Diameter at base: 3" Diameter of top section 1-5/8" Includes mast top with pulley and rope in case you actually want to use it as a flagpole YOU CHOOSE USPSGA, FED EX OR UPS FOR THE CHEAPEST RATE WHEN YOU CHECK OUT !
