DK9SQ Pole Modification

WB3AAL
Hello,

 Today I went to Cabela's and picked up a replacement fishing rod tip to
make a modification to my DK9SQ pole.

I super glue or you can epoxy it to the top. Now I have a place to hang the
vertical wire.

72 and Thanks,

Another way to do this:

To attach a wire to the end of a fishing pole like the DK9SQ I tape the
wire to a two inch piece of small diameter polyethylene tubing. This is
slipped over the end of the pole and the taper of the pole  holds it in
position. Choose a diameter small enough to fit as close to the tip as you
want. Easy to remove, and spreads the forces out over the material to
reduce chance of tip damage.
