I have an Elecraft T1 ATU and am looking for some simple antenna ideas for using it with my QRP rigs including my Wilderness Radio Sierra and SWL-20. I am new to this outdoor portable QRP operations...so I apologize if the questions seem very basic.
I would like a setup that uses the T1 and is easy to deploy at a park or when camping. I have been doing a lot of reading on the W3EDP antenna and think I will start with that. Is this a good place to start? It seems like a lot of people somehow manage to cut the right length of wire and shoot it over a tree and make contacts. Then there are other articles that talk about cutting the wires to exact lenghts for performance. Then there is another article explaining that there is no magic in the length defined by the previous article. Any and all advice on where to start would be helpful. I have a lot of band modules in the Sierra and would like an antenna that lets me move around a bit. Thanks in advance.... 73 de Keith KB3ILS _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
