Re: [Elecraft] Self-fusing liquid electrical tape
I should have mentioned that. I strip 5 or 6 inches of insulation. That was why I cleaned the top of the ground rod and sprayed it with electrical lubricant. I used a stainless steel hose clamp to hold the stripped wires against the ground rod at each end of the stripped wire portions. The next part is what I wrote about to start with.

[Elecraft] Self-fusing liquid electrical tape
I have always-in this order-done the following to a new ground rod installation: 1) application of an appropriate anticorrosive spray to the ground rod; 2) attach whatever wires; 3) when all is snug, wrap it all with self-fusing rubber tape with at least an inch of overlap at each end of the wrap; 4) wrap all of the fused rubber tape with plastic electrical tape, adding ~ an inch at each end of the wrap; and finally 5) add a comprehensive layer of "liquid electrical tape" to the entire tape assembly. Once this is accomplished, you will have a sealed attachment that will provide an excellent, long-term connection between the ground rod and the wire(s) provided by the the fused tape AND the way the liquid electrical tape will fuse the plastic electrical tape as it dries/cures. I mention all this as a response to the question about the use of liquid tape. I did all this working on the ground rods and radials connected under my HyGain HyTower.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 through TSA Security ?
EVERY time since there's been a TSA I have always had 3 or more chargers, etc. cables in my carry-on, and have NEVER had them look inside. By the way, the last trip my wife and I took, on the return portion, all of a sudden we were preferred or prequalified-or whatever it's called, and got to go through a separate and VERY minimal line, with no shoe removal nor pocket emptying. 3 minutes tops. Awesome!

Re: [Elecraft] looking for iPad software
At the APP Store, search on Ham Radio Logging . Fall back on Ham Radio if you don't find something for Logging.

The basic logging program is my real want but I would like to hear of other programs. Yes, I know about the app store but I can't find what I want. Being new to the iPad and the overwhelming offering in the app store makes me wonder if I missed something. Nothing fancy, just the basics.
