Aluminum vs Fiberglass Antenna Poles

[BigLou]

I had some fiberglass poles like the ones your talking of, thay will not work you have no way to ground the pole.If you tri you will have a very High SWR. I use a aluminum flag pole at 40ft and have had no problems..

Vertical antennas, metal.

Wire dipoles, metal unless your type of dipole uses part of the feedline as a radiating element such as a G5RV. Then your better off with an aluminum most or you'll need stand off brackets.

I use a 43' HD pushup fiberglass mast by MGS for my ZS3BKW antenna.

Get the Aluminum . Years ago I bought two of the 30' Aluminum kits setup and put a Coily Base Enforcer Ground Plane on top. Worked great. installed set screws and LockTite to secure the sections, Used 2 Galvanized Antenna pole standoffs to secure to side of the house and guy wire it down. Worked well until I upgraded to a Tower.
