Looking for a 17' Stainless Whip Antenna.

Equipment Antennas
1

I’m looking for an affordable equivalent to the Chameleon CHA SS17 17-ft telescopic vertical antenna, ideally available in the UK or via AliExpress.

I’ve seen a few options listed online, but I’d really appreciate personal recommendations from anyone who’s actually used one. I’m after something that can take a bit of abuse in the field without falling apart — and without costing the earth.

If you’ve found something reliable that fits the bill, I’d love to hear about it.

Any help appreciated. Thanks, and Merry Christmas.

Martin,

May I suggest a telescopic mast and a 17 ft wire? A 7 m mast can be used for other antennas.

Don’t forget the radials.

I haven’t seen ay stainless steel telescopic whips but maybe someone has. The ordinary plated telescopic whips have a limited life and one kink and they are done.
