[Elecraft] DK9SQ Pole Modification

[Stuart Rohre]

Don't worry about the carbon in the pole.  It is bound up in a matrix of 
plastic such that it does not make a good conductor.  You can check with an 
ohm meter two places say a foot apart; what does that read on your pole? 
(don't break the outer covering, just hold the probe side against the pole 
side).

It is very unlikely any of the filaments make an RF wavelength fraction of 
significance at your bands of use.
