[ICOM] Jackite PILE - er... I mean POLE!

[Mike Olbrisch]

Well - that is embarrassing.  River is a Great Dane.  If he ever gave me a 31 ft
Fiberglass PILE that collapsed to 4 feet, I would need a big shovel to clean it
up.

A Jackite Pole is this.

They come in several colors.  Being the stealth-hiker that I am, mine is GREEN.
