[TVARC] Flag pole verticals

[Ken Peters]

Hi to all, 
I am brand new to the club and joined during this WuFlu shutdown. So Ive not even been to a meeting. I had a CW license when I was 13-18.  Then life took over. 
  I recently bought a FT-818ND and am excited about getting my tech license and getting into this and meeting members. Ive been on this email list and reading these for a couple weeks now but these communiques about antennas really got me curious.
   It gave me an idea which may be totally stupid since I am such a pre-novice to this. 
Why can’t a conventional flagpole, (with a flag) be used? Run a wire up the pole, etc.?
   Im sure its been thought of before; what is the flaw in this idea?
Thanks
Ken Peters
