Not that they are not a good solution, just be aware, most carbon fiber poles are conductive at RF.

Michael - Fred Maas KT5X suggested the following to me recently and it's
working well. $2.99 plus shipping from China. Worth the wait. Delivered
early. Comes with a small cloth case.

These are 3.6m-7.2m Carbon Fiber Stream Pole Telescopic Spinning Freshwater
Fishing Rod

25 inches - fits in a suit case just fine.  Very light - 10 ounces. Expands
to nearly 27 feet.  I don't use the last length.   I purchased two of them.

I use it with my KX2 and a 35ft and 43ft end fed antenna set up. Love it.

Can Anyone recommended a great QRP Antenna for KX3


Going to Hawaii with KX3 from high rise Hotels and some Sandy Beaches
that is lightweight, easy to deploy, carry on Airlines or packed into
luggage.


Any Portable Poles to recommend for End Fed Antenna's


My MFJ-1920 pole is 3.8ft when collapsed and extends to 33 feet
but when Island Hopping, 3.8ft does not qualify as a Carry On due to it's
length
So hit with extra baggage fee's


Maybe a Fishing pole that is on sections that not as long, when collapsed
would be the Answer, some 14ft to 17 feet Crappie Fishing poles only
breakdown to 46inches to 48inches, about the collapsed length of my
MFJ-1910 fiberglass telescopic mast
