You want a pole to go in the Jockey wheel holder on your 4 metre caravan?
For an aerial or sat dish?
OK. I'll fess up!
Sir Benjamin was _almost_ right - it's not CB, but amateur radio. I have
a Crossed beam sitting on top of my rotator, using an aluminum pole. This
passes right through the vertical elements, and is de-tuning them, giving
an SWR of almost 4:1, whereas the horizontal section is spot on at 1.1:1.
That's why I need a fibreglass pole!
(Although the pole dancing setup does sound good - my wife has always
wanted to learn that!)
