LOL.. rock on brother! I'm a believer it just throwing a chunk of wire in a tree and making contacts.. I don't need no stinking EZ- antenna programs LOL

btw.. 300 confirmed on my full wave loop... which has an unknown amount of wire, fed with a unknown length of 300 ohm twinlead, and unknown resonant point

Subject: [Elecraft] K3s - KAT3A is a Great ATU!

A few days ago, when assembling my 43ft Vertical antenna, I ran a RG213 from
rig to outside and a longer RG213 from antenna to outside my house. I later
powered up the K3S/KAT3A to test that new 43ft Vertical, wondering if there
must be a problem, as reception was quite a bit lower than my G5RV. Strong
signals were relatively clear and audible, but way down on the S meter.

I then realized I was using the KAT3A ATU to tune the 50ft of coax alone, as
I had forgotten to join the coax at the lightning arrester on the ground rod
outside my house.

Next, I'm going to try a KX2 w/KXAT2 ATU on a folding aluminum lawn chair.
Antennas? We don't need no stinking antennas!  ;-)
