Which fibreglass pole for Amateur (Ham) Radio? SPIDERPOLE, DX COMMANDER OR OTHERS?

Here I am trying to offer some insight into different types of fibreglass poles and maybe which is best for you. I also show an End Fed Half Wave (EFHW) antenna for 20Mtrs.

As an addition I fired up the 991 to see what I could hear. Signal were coming in strong against a relatively low noise floor. Unfortunately the mic had developed a fault so TX was not possible. This turned out to be a faulty (dry joint) in the microphone.

Rather than delete this or "doctor" the video I chose to leave it intact just to show that things do go wrong, irrelevant of age or experience or licence. I think the video covered the intended purpose.

Very enjoyable couple of hours with my Indian visitor Sri who turned out to be a great cameraman and director.
