[Elecraft] Re: KX1 and airport security

[Pierre Desjardins]

I will travel soon with the KX1, the antenna coils, etc 

AND.. a telescopic pole for antenna setup. The key will be the policy of the airlines, and then the decision of the specific aircrafts personnel.  X-ray scans will show that it is only fiberglass, and there is no sharp point.  But because it is 46 inches long, it has the potential as a club, and may be treated the same as golf clubs, baseball bats, hockey sticks, etc.

Hoping that it won't be ''confiscated'' in some european airport I will pass trough. 

Advices are welcome
