[Elecraft] fishing rod blanks

[Gil Stacy]

Take a look at the Moxon Antenna page for sources of cheap rods.

While slightly more expensive, I bought a crappie (the fish, not the 
adjective) pole from Cabelas for $10.00.

Sand spikes are easily made of PVC.  Cut one end at 45 degrees.  The other 
end can be slightly flared by heating on a gas grill and forcing heated over 
a wine bottle.  A protruding stainless steel bolt placed at right angles to 
the tube can be used as a foot rest to drive the spike in the ground.
