New “snap-in” element holes
Multi-Band Expedition System based on the Expedition / SOTA / Portable Travel pole and up to 6-wire elements to give you any number of bands you wish. This is the 2023 spec with NEW screw base and stronger components and marine hardened UV resistant special polymer plastic.
With just 4 elements (three major elements and one up the side), this will deliver:
- 40m
- 20m
- 17m
- 15m
- 10m
- 6m
The kit includes a custom reel of 100m DX10 flexible black 22-core antenna wire, tested to 1600W for 65 seconds key down at 14MHz.
Note: 80m *will* work on this system. Make up an element 19m long and come off at the 5m point across to a tree / bush / fence post to create an Inverted L. Yes, the pole is a little bendy but it will work.
This is almost the same as the regular All-Band Vertical “Classic”, but the pole is only 65 cms long in it’s compact form to allow ease of travel / back-pack etc. There are many more telescopic sections to create the whole 30 feet (or so) but the main section is the same physical external diameter as the “Classic” this means that eash section has a lower wall-thickness. Just beware of this. It is designed for portable use.
The Expedition Pole is deceptive. We think that lower wall thickness means less strength however in testing, the flexible walls only means that the pole bends more – which for us as radio operators is a benefit. Of course if you stand on it, it has less strength but it’s not designed for standing on.
The parts list includes:
Expedition Pole- Ground Plate
- Driven Plate
- QRO Guy Plate
- QRO Mid Spreader
- QRO Upper Spreader
- Stainless Nuts, bolts and washers
- HCL EzyClamps
- Circa 10m 550 Paracord for guying
- Plenty of Marlow Marine Dyneema Shock-Cord
- Appropriate amount of Glue Lined Shrink-Wrap
- Some Fork Connectors for both Ground and Driven elements
- 100m reel DX10 UK Made antenna wire
Note: We don’t supply those little plastic carabiners for the shock-cord ends any more. They becomne brittle and break. We moved to a superier solution of stopper knots and loops. See User Guide.
