Congratulations on the KX3! To get a wire over the tallest tree on the first attempt and that includes a Redwood, look at what I do at the bottom of my QRZ page. I got the idea from a QST article a few years ago and then built on the idea.
It will make the setup much faster than you could ever hope to do. 73, Gary KA1J > Well, my wait is over. My KX3 is in my hands. So far, I've gone to a park and stung some wire up (in response I saw a very confused old man drive by...) and tried to make some contacts off the internal batteries. It didn't help that I was in a valley as well. My wire was at most 6 feet off the ground, I'm sure that didn't help either. I can't wait to get home and hook the radio to the G5RV on the roof and the power supply and see what I can work. > > See you on the bands > > Joshua Gould > K8WXA > > Sent from my iPhone > ______________________________________________________________ > 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 > Message delivered to g...@ka1j.com > --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
