Our 7m poles are perfect for lightweight portable radio operating. They represent the optimum balance between weight and height for applications where the poles must be carried to site. Longer poles are hard to manage in many conditions.

Note that we usually glue on the base cap of the 7m pole, as otherwise it tends to work loose and fall off. If this is a problem, please leave a note in the "Order Comments" box when checking out and we should be able to supply an unglued one.

Base caps on 10m poles are not glued. The top and base caps are push fit on the current 7m and 10m poles, but tend to stay on a bit better on the 10m poles.

Dimensions and weights approximate.  Poles may differ from the pictures in colour.

We sell replacement sections for the 10m SOTAPOLE here. We do not sell replacement sections for the 7m SOTAPOLE, sorry.

 

"Must-have" Accessories

Pole bags: protect your pole with a durable nylon storage bag.

We also supply guying kits and insulators for our poles. Click the links below for details:     

Applications

All our poles will support a lightweight longwire or dipole antenna with ease and are readily erected by one person. They will stand a moderate wind if properly erected. Each pole comes complete with a set of instructions and our suggestions on how they might be used.

Other Uses

These poles are also ideal as the top section for home-station vertical antennas.

A few people have purchased them for use as quad spreaders. People have also bought them to use as elements for lightweight HF yagis - six poles would make a near full-sized 3 element beam for 20/30m if attached to a suitable boom. Four poles could make a nice "Moxon Rectangle" antenna. One person bought four poles to use at the end of the elements of his 80m yagi!

    Money Well Spent

    Posted by Barry Coomer on 31st Jan 2017

    I bought the 10 metre pole for semi-temporary use in my garden. Superb. Quite manageable even at full extent. I've used it about ten times up to now with barely any incident. The one incident did occur yesterday. One of the sections was locked solid, unable to pack the pole away. A quick look on YouTube sorted it. Just tap the base on a solid floor a few times and it was sorted. Highly recommended. Also the delivery was very prompt, the pole was very well packaged. Very pleased.

    7 Meter Sota Pole

    Posted by Stephen on 29th Dec 2016

    Excellent Product. I wanted a smaller light weight pole to complement my 10 meter pole so ordered the 7 meter one. I was not dissapointed. The pole is light enough to hand carry and easilly supports my home brew linked dipole.

    Great Product, Great Service

    Posted by Jeff on 9th Dec 2016

    The telescopic poles are outstanding. Easy to use, and strong for their weight. If you DO break a section by doing something dumb (like I did) their replacement service is fast and at very minimal cost (shipping). I can't over-recommend Sotbeams. Also - for those that are interested in spray-painting camo on these poles, they take paint reasonably well.

    Great product.

    Posted by Michael on 7th Jun 2016

    only recklessness on my part broke my last sota pole, so my 7m version is a replacement. Very good value for money ,very quick delivery, and does exactly what you want it to do in the field. I use mine with linked dipole , also from sotabeams which is another superb product.
