I deployed an end fed on a Shakespeare Wonder Pole at a cabin on Lake George 
one year.  The landlord came by and said “what are you fishing for?”    
“Electrons,” I replied.  It turns out that he had always been interested in 
amateur radio and we sat and ragchewed for an hour as I showed him my portable 
setup with my KX3 and PX3.  I think I “reeled in” another ham to the hobby that 
day.  :)
