[pct-l] Carbon Fiber Poles

[Tortoise]

Switchback or Anyone,

As I recall, carbon is a good conductor of electricity. 
Carbon is used in the brushes of some electrical motors to 
conduct electricity and was long used in telephone handsets 
as part of the microphone. Could someone try an experiment 
with a battery powered circuit continuity tester or an ohm 
meter and see how well the carbon fiber poles conduct 
electricity. They may be about the same as the aluminum poles.

Shock me not.
