They are a bit flimsy and too short for a DKAZ or flag/loop. The Jackite poles are fairly common in ham circles. I've owned 4 of them for at least 10 years without problems. I also own a handful of other fiberglass poles and they have all been OK except an MFJ product. They collapse to approximately 4 feet. Two of my poles with the bases at https://wordpress.com/view/chuckhuttonblog.wordpress.com form the 18 x 18 corner fed loop I use at Rockworks. It can be assembled in 10 minutes in total darkness (with a flashlight). The concrete bases are thick enough to withstand moderate coastal windstorms and might be a bit heavy for a several hour DXpedition.
