ICYDK,
Crappie [n. KRAA-pee] A genus, pomoxis, of North American freshwater
fish in the sunfish family Centrarchidae.
Crappy [adj. KRAA-pee] 1. Of or denoting very inferior construction. 2.
Denoting any bad condition, object, utterance, or occurrence.
"Pole" is the operative word here, fish make very poor antennas and they
don't last very long, just as crappy crappie poles don't last long
either. [:-)
I'm still a mag loop fan after trying all the rest.

Hey Mike.
For a trip to ZF last month, I took several old Walmart crappie pole pieces and
built a 22 foot mast by judiciously selecting and cutting pieces no longer than
28 inches so that the sections would stack and the disassembled antenna would
fit diagonally in my suitcase.
