Description
12mHD-E: This is an upgraded version with custom-made stainless-steel eyelet cotter, glued to the top segment with weather-proof and UV-resistant adhesive.
The eyelet enables easy attachment of any kind of device to the tip of the pole.
Spiderbeam 12m Heavy Duty poles are very well suited for building 40/80/160m wire GP or inverted L antennas. They can also easily support temporary lightweight 1 Element Quad or Delta loops for 20-10m, and dipoles for all bands, especially when used with open wire feedline.
These are extremely strong poles, with a much greater wall thickness (up to 2mm!) than the usual “fishing rod” types. A special reinforcing winding technique – several layers of fiberglass are wound in alternating direction (criss-cross winding) – provides greatly increased lateral and linear strength. Stronger joints are achieved by a much larger overlap between the individual tube segments than usual.
A single person can easily put them up within a few minutes. Especially developed to make our portable equipment even more rugged and durable!
