Oh, like a windsock pole? ??Same idea but not as small/thin as a windsock pole.?? They can be useful for a slim-jim. I have one of those and yes, barely able to hold up a just a THIN coax-fed dipole, and a real challenge to guy it without making a specialized solution (although that _is_ possible.) But not really worth it for 25 feet.

I have a Hastings Hot Stick I got back when I was in PA, nearly 20 years ago. 35 feet,? (they go past 50)? and each section has a push-button lock. Non-conductive but thick fiberglass. Would be a great solution - if they didn't cost a fortune.

Fiberglass telescoping poles?
Curious, as I haven't seen anything like that except for a couple telescoping masts Tony had.
They might reduce the need for the stackable multi-section military masts we have used for the past few years, except for 80m which needs the really high mast.

These are light-weight poles held extended by compression and duct-tape. ?I wouldn’t trust them with more weight than maybe the center of a dipole, holding up a vertical wire, or a lightweight vhf/UHF antenna.? Personally, given the choice of these or the stackable multi-section poles, the later wins every time

Do we really have FIVE? 25-foot telescoping poles?? Are these the metal "channel master" poles?? Fiberglass I believe

I’ve updated the asset spreadsheet at the following link:

with all the clubs stuff moved from my barn to the storage unit.

As stuff gets brought to the storage unit, please update the spreadsheet as appropriate.
