[Elecraft] Upcoming Vacation and my K2

[rich a.]

I believe Jason mentioned he was flying to Miami and I assume he will rent a
car to drive to Key West......so he could stop at the Home Depot in Marathon
(1/2 way down the Keys) and purchase a telescopic painters pole, some light
nylon cord and some large spikes to serve as guy lines. I use a 23 ft. pole
for portable ops with my  homebrew buddipole (works great) but you can use
shorter poles.....before I got the 23' pole I did very well with a 12' pole,
which will collapse short enough to fit in the car.
