Use your Hiking sticks as a foot for your vertical antenna! Ideal for rocky summits or any other ham radio activity that does not allow binding your mast to a pole, stump or pegs for guy wires.
The ground rod/spike of the vertical antenna is replaced with a foot made from a few parts and your hiking sticks. The second winged nut is used to fix the radials to the base of the vertical antenna. It might work with just one (radials tied to the disc), but I did not try this yet.
The stl files are made for hiking sticks with a 16mm diameter. Just adapt the parameter in the openScad file if this does not fit for your gear.
Additional Parts:
1x M10 screw with hex head and at least 85mm long
2x M10 winged nut
1x M10 washer
Settings for 3D Printed parts:
Discs: PETG 0.2mm
Rubber: TPU95 0.25mm / 15% infill / 8 pointed star top and bottom layer
