If you use one of the many popular telescopic poles to support temporary antennas on DXpeditions or portable, you will likely have needed some way to guy it. SOTABEAMS has introduced two heavy duty guying collars designed for this application. Made of a rugged plastic material with eight holes for flexible guying options, they are sure to be popular.

Although they are suitable for use in heavy duty applications, the use of modern high-performance plastics means that they are lightweight. Two sizes are available, sitting at different heights on telescopic poles. The smaller collar has a vertical section suitable for attaching a small beam antenna (such as a TV antenna).
