The Harbor Freight flag pole you note was a good buy and has been up for a while. Works great as a flag pole.

There is another vendor of long nonconductive poles I ran across some time back, https://wonderpole.com/ <https://wonderpole.com/>

Would be easy to just run a large AWG wire up it with some ties as a quick and dirty part of a vertical.

Not mentioned so far for light loads are the Harbor Freight telescoping flag poles.  Pretty well made, but not conductive because of the plastic clamping collars. I have a couple of the 25ft ones, which they don't seem to sell now.  Surprisingly well made.

A collection of SS hose clamps, one for each joint, eliminates any chance of collapsing.
