K2 in Kauai--Jackite Pole Experience?

[jmeade]

I have had excellent results since last summer with the 28-foot Jackite
pole. It has held up the center of a 40m inverted vee fed with twinlead and
has been tied to many wood decks with bungee cords.  It takes only a few
minutes to put up and take down and is much stronger than the SD-20 pole
that I used before this one.

Any suggestions as to how to collapse one that has been up for over 6 mos.
and seems to be stuck open?  It's pretty thin-walled in comparison to my
Spiderbeam pole and I don't want to crush it.

Congrats on winning ARS Skinny Division, Gil. They'll all be copying you
next month. Hi.

Maybe a letter to Dragonplate will get you some freebies...at least some
race stickers to put on your next creation. Graphite side plates for a
K1/K2?
