All Elecraft station also - K3/P3/KPA500/KAT500 normally on the desk - KX3 for portable use and during power outages or (heaven forbid) if the K3 develops a problem (only once in 3 years and it was MY fault). Antennas at the home QTH are a Cushcraft A3S tri-bander at 35 feet, nondescript homebrew fan dipole at 35 feet for 40, 30 and 17 meters, ground mounted Butternut HF2V with loading coil for 160/80/40 (KAT500 tunes it on everything including 6 meters) and a quarter wave inverted L sloping upward from 30 to 50 feet on 160 meters.
Portable antennas consist of a PAR EndFedZ 40-20-10 wire, a homebrew take-apart vertical that breaks down to mostly 1 foot sections (MFJ 6' telescopic whip is a bit longer) and uses a buddi-pole coil and a 21 foot non-resonant vertical that's collapsible but still too long for convenient portable carry. I use it mostly at hamfests when demonstrating the K3 and KX3. Station pix at www.qrz.com - (look up W0EB) and scroll down the page for the latest shack pix. Jim - W0EB >> I would like to see some of the kx3 shacks and antennas used. >> ______________________________________________________________ >> >> ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
