[Elecraft] telescoping poles

[Martin Gillen]

Hi, Jerry et al,

> It is a tube with a spike on one end

Or homebrew your own sand spike like I did.  1 or 2 feet of 3/4" PVC
pipe, an pipe end, 3 stainless steel rods and a couple of jubilee
clips (hose clamps).

Attach the pipe end piece to the pipe.  It is probably slightly
thicker than the pipe.

Drill 3 notches in the pipe end which will guide the 3 steel rods and
keep them equidistant around the pipe, and secure with the jubilee
clips, one around the end piece, one in the middle and one near the
top.
