Worth the wait. Delivered early. Comes with a small cloth case. http://www.ebay.com/itm/262678511063 These are 3.6m-7.2m Carbon Fiber Stream Pole Telescopic Spinning Freshwater Fishing Rod 25 inches - fits in a suit case just fine. Very light - 10 ounces. Expands to nearly 27 feet. I don't use the last length. I purchased two of them. I use it with my KX2 and a 35ft and 43ft end fed antenna set up. Love it.

Any Portable Poles to recommend for End Fed Antenna's My MFJ-1920 pole is 3.8ft when collapsed and extends to 33 feet but when Island Hopping, 3.8ft does not qualify as a Carry On due to it's length So hit with extra baggage fee's Maybe a Fishing pole that is on sections that not as long, when collapsed would be the Answer, some 14ft to 17 feet Crappie Fishing poles only breakdown to 46inches to 48inches, about the collapsed length of my MFJ-1910 fiberglass telescopic mast Mike WB6DJI ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected] -- Inspire Curiosity Together BILDR - no code programming platform 512-782-4814 | TomParish.com KB5RF ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
