MFJ-1910 Telescoping Fiberglass Mast Pole 33 Feet

Had it up for about a month straight and it sustained multiple bouts of 15mph-20mph winds jus fine while swaying at very high angles (as expected). 25+mph winds came through and I decided to leave it up to see how it would stand and with the weight of the coax and jumper box (2oz), it broke at about 32ft under a heavy gust. Not the fault of the product as it's obvious it's not designed for 25+mph winds. Will be ordering two more

It is very light and easy to put up fully extended. However, after swinging back and forth in the wind it came straight down and had to be extended again. I twisted the sections tight but it didn't last more than 2 to 4 days. This happened 3 times. On the forth time I drilled holes through where the sections overlap and put a 18 awg wire through and bent the ends down. So far it is still up after a week. I am pleased with my purchase. I have a 22 gauge wire straight down from the top with a 9:1 unun (matching transformer) at the bottom with coax from that point to the house. It's a good omni antenna.

It has hosted a 130 foot wire as the apex support for more than 1 year now. very sturdy. But perhaps not for concentrated weight such as a balun box. To require a support of this "hideability" to hold a heavy weight is unrealistic, especially at this price point.I ordered another one this week to form a support for one of the wire ends.

Nice mast to use with a piece of wire for a vertical. But the top section is to flimsy to really use for anything. Weaker then an ultra light fishing pole

Mast its very well made, i used to rise my ham radio end fed antennas . For Dipoles antenna, i don't extend the last to sections, because are to thin to support the Balum weight..

First, you can not use the full length of the mast. When we kept adding sections it started to slightly bend so removed sections to stop this. Secondly, the first time there was a medium wind the mast bent into a 45 degree angle at the point it was secured to a steel pole for support.When I contacted the seller with photos of the defective mast requesting a refund I received no reply at all. Don't waste your money. This was a total waste of money and time.

Took it out to field day and mounted it to the ladder of my trailer with a couple of hose clamps. Extended it out to hold the end of an end-fed 40m - 10m. First the top (thinner than most fishing rods) snapped off in a light breeze less than an hour later. I tried remounting the antenna lower 3 times with the same result, the final time snapping just above the hose clamps with only 15 feet of the thing left by that point. Oh well, lesson learned I guess.

The product looks good. When I first received it, I cleaned and inspected each section, and they looked well made. When I began to raise the pole for the first time on a calm day in my back yard with a 40 meter end fed wire antenna attached, the end section snapped before being fully raised or the full antenna being lifted of the ground. Again, it looked good when I first inspected it, but there must have been a fracture in the fiberglass. Regardless, I was disappointed. Upon calling MFJ they agreed to send a new end section out, so the manufacture was responsive, and I am hopeful that this was a flaw rather than representative of the product's quality.
