Just want to add, DK3IT made measurements on carbon poles here:
https://reflector.sota.org.uk/t/hf-antennas-on-short-masts/16161,
which indicate, that carbon poles have no adverse effect on the antenna (besides maybe shifting resonance frequency, which is no issue for me, because I’m using an ATU).
I want to buy a carbon Lakeside 5 travel 600, but at present it is not available in Germany.
