[Elecraft] DK9SQ Pole Modification

[Alan Biocca]

Another way to do this:

To attach a wire to the end of a fishing pole like the DK9SQ I tape the 
wire to a two inch piece of small diameter polyethylene tubing. This is 
slipped over the end of the pole and the taper of the pole  holds it in 
position. Choose a diameter small enough to fit as close to the tip as you 
want. Easy to remove, and spreads the forces out over the material to 
reduce chance of tip damage.
