[Elecraft] SOTA Acceptance

[Gary Hawkins]

For those that asked, my SOTA pole is a KWIK STIX Bream Pole by South 
Bend Sporting Model KS-2-20 6 section, reduced in length from 20'6" to 
18'3".  I'm not sure this is made any more, but they do still offer a 5 
section 17ft variant.

I use it to support a LNR EFT-10/20/40 EndFedz Antenna Trail-Friendly, 
or very occasionally a 40/20/15/10m homemade linked dipole.

In fact, I've gone so far as flying a SOTA flag off my crappie pole when I'm operating encouraging folks to come over a ask what I'm doing.
