Ground Spike Kit for POTA 33B Mast (M10 Stainless)

❌ Made ONLY for the POTA 33B

This kit will NOT work with the original POTA 33, POTA 33H, POTA 20, or Lil Dude 6 (LD6).

🚀 Limited First Run: Only 20 Kits

I'm releasing a small first batch while I make sure everything works great in the field. Once they're gone, more will follow. This is a "I'm a beta tester" batch. It's not that I don't trust Mike, it's that I enjoy multiple opinions / feedback on what people think. Only selling 20 at first allows me to not have 100's of orders to fix and make right. If there is a Major issue that was overlooked and you ordered the first batch, you get taken care of.

🔩 Thread Option: M10 only (for now)

A 3/8"-24 version MAY be offered in the future. If that's what you need, check back or check my announcemnts section at hamradiodude.com or on my youtube @dudetested

✅ Field Tested

The POTA 33B kit was tested by Mike of Ham Radio Tube. See it in action here. This may answer your questions. I do not have the mast (Call me Gigaparts), so I have to rely on community feedback, like from Mike:

🔪 Introducing: The KDTSRE-5000M (AKA MRD Spike 33B)

💀 Named in homage to K8MRD and his viewer base. It means KMurder Dude Tested Stiff Rod Erectioner 5000 Magnum Built for full field deployment and erection.
A rugged, DIY-friendly ground spike kit made for your POTA 33B mast.

🧰 What's Included:

✅ Pre-installed brass insert (Made in the USA)
✅ 1/2" PVC included AND pre-cut, so no trips to the hardware store and no cutting!
✅ Durable ABS plastic, machine milled, NOT 3D printed
✅ Stainless steel M10 threaded spike

🛠️ Build Instructions:

hamradiodude.com/spike_build.pdf
Same instructions as my other spike kits, except you can skip the PVC cutting step because it's already done for you.

📐 Specifications:

Length: ~18" (without spike) / ~27" (with spike)
Weight: ~12.8 oz (stainless steel spike included)

💡 Pro Tips for Hard Ground:

💧 Add water to the soil to ease insertion
⚒️ Use a rubber mallet, since steel hammers can damage parts

💥 Why This Spike Rocks:

Made specifically for the POTA 33B
Stainless steel spike for unmatched durability
Threaded brass insert pre-installed in cap
Pre-cut 1/2" PVC included, ready to assemble

****Mike has stated there is a small amount of gap between the mast and the spike kit, but this is not anything that should be of concern*****

⚠️ SAFETY NOTE

The name MRD Spike is a fun nod to K8MRD. This is a ground mount, not a weapon.
Please don't:
Run with the spike extended
Use it as a fencing tool
Jab your eye out (you'll need both for FT8!)
Use responsibly. Ham hard. Stay safe. 📡
