Wow I couldnt believe the price and why are hams not building it

You know you could buy telescopic fishing poles and stick aluminum foil
along its outside length
and at particular points take off some foil and push some finger stock
into
the inner of the pole It is then an easy job to switch these gaps
closed or open
depending on the band you are using.

This has to be a troll. Nobody in their right mind would ever build
such a kludge.
