🏕️ Freedom Spike Ground Mount Kit

Lightweight. Field-ready.

The Freedom Spike is a lightweight, ready-to-use ground spike kit for portable ham radio masts. Designed for POTA, SOTA, camping, backpacking, and field radio operators who want to carry less and deploy faster.

Plant it. Drop in your mast. Get on the air.

🔑 Key Features

🪶 Lightweight Aluminum Spike

Freedom Spike uses a lightweight aluminum ground spike, cutting real pack weight without giving up the simple, stable ground mount setup operators love.

For backpackers, POTA activators, and anyone counting ounces, that matters.

📡 Built for Popular Portable Masts

Available in multiple fit-specific versions for popular portable ham radio masts:

• Freedom Spike POTA20 for the GigaParts Explorer POTA20
• Freedom Spike POTA33 for the GigaParts Explorer POTA33
• Freedom Spike LD6 for Lil Dude style masts

Each version is sized for the mast it is made for, giving you a cleaner fit and a better field setup.

📏 Fitment Measurements

Using a different mast? Measure the inside diameter of the bottom section of your mast and compare it to the chart below.

For best fit, measure your mast with calipers. Tape measures and rulers can get you close, but calipers are recommended for checking compatibility with other mast models.

🎒 Compact Backpack-Friendly Storage

The spike stores inside the tube when packed, keeping the sharp end protected and your radio bag cleaner.

It is simple, compact, and easy to throw in a backpack, go-box, or POTA kit.

⚡ Fast Field Deployment

Setup is quick:

1. Remove the spike from the tube
   
2. Push/Mallet it into the ground
3. Thread it into the base 
   
4. Drop in your mast
5. Deploy your antenna

Less fussing. More operating.
