SOTA, SB, Walking Pole Guying Kit , WPGK-100, NOS

Walking poles are too short to be a suitable support for most HF aerials, but they are just the right height to hold the ends of wire antennas off the ground. When operating on 160/80/60m the sag in the antenna can mean that the ends are very close to the ground. This can detune the antenna and also increases losses.

The Walking Pole Guying kit consists of two laser cut insulators designed to slip over the tip of a walking pole and four Hi Vis yellow guylines (two per insulator). Just attach the end of your antenna to the other hole in the insulator and guying the pole will hold the antenna in place.
