I was able to purchase 1 of 25 of the NEW GigaParts Explorer 20 Foot Carbon Fiber ham radio antenna masts that GigaParts announced before Dayton Hamvention 2024.

I have been using this portable ham radio mast for the past couple of months, and I LOVE it so far!

This mast is PERFECT for taking your ham radio portable for POTA or SOTA activations!

I purchased this mast with MY OWN money. These are my HONEST thoughts of this mast.

The GigaParts Explorer 20 foot mast retails for $79.95.

GigaParts also announced that a 30 foot Explorer mast is also in the works as well!
