Wed, 5 Mar 2003 10:35:00 -0700

Look on page 67 of the June 2001 issue of QST. "The Arkansas Catfish

What it was essentially,  was a pair of telescoping fiberglass fishing
poles strapped to a center support with two sections of #14 Enameled wire
strapped to the poles.  It was to be a rotatable dipole for 20 Meters.
