[ICOM] WTB: IC-215

[Mike Olbrisch]

River got me a Jackite pole.  It is a 31 ft fiberglass pile that collapses to
about 4 feet, and is sturdy enough to support a light-weight dipole or as a
vertical.  It will be nice at dog shows when I am bored and need to pop up an HF
antenna to play with the portable QRP.

Some of the IC-703 folks could use one of these.  Makes a great portable
support.

Didn't I tie it back to an ICOM topic nicely???   <grin>.
