SPIDERBEAM "FIBERGLASS" SPIDERPOLES
(Made of Fiberglass and Epoxy; No Carbon)
<---- See Menu on the Left for more Info
Spiderbeam's telescoping fiberglass "Spiderpoles"
were designed to be the best compromise
between weight and height.
They were primarily designed
for the traveling ham radio operator
to be used for on-the-ground mounting,
supporting lightweight wire antennas.
Spiderbeam is Amateur Radio's PREMIUM manufacturer and source for telescoping fiberglass push-up poles. Simply stated, it is the BEST QUALITY telescoping fiberglass poles in the Amatuer Radio industry for supporting portable wire antennas.
FACT: The most important criteria for choosing a fiberglass pole to support your antenna is "quality", NOT price!
If you buy cheap, you buy twice.
IMPORTANT: the Spiderpole does not use carbon to increase strength. Carbon is conductive/resistive, and can introduce absorbtion loss and/or substantially detune the antenna.
The Spiderpole itself is UV-resistant. In addition, it is coated with a layer of black enamel (UV-resistant) paint which helps assure a long life supporting your antenna.
The typical life expectancy of a Spiderpole is 10 years or more unless you do something very stupid with it.
EXAMPLES OF STUPID THINGS YOU MIGHT DO:
- Drill holes in your pole. This is a good way to
break your pole.
- One well known California ham did this, broke his pole, and continues to blame Spiderbeam.
- Attaching a dipole with heavy coax to the pole while it is laying on the ground, then trying to pivot it up. This is almost guaranteed to break the pole.
