In the second part we test two 15m masts in a vertical setup: Spiderbeam 18m HD vs. PowerPole-Expedition 15m. The results are shocking! For a fair comparison, the Spiderbeam mast was shortened to 15m by removing the last two elements.
The antenna used is the extremely compact Aerial-51 404-UL: https://shop.spiderbeam.com/shop/aerial-51-modell-404-ul-1613?category=72
