Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] The "Kinda Random Antenna"

[Howard Hoyt]

Hi Wayne,

I liked your description of the KRA.  I recently employed the principle 
for a KRAzy MacGuyver'ed NPOTA activation, documented here:


https://proaudioeng.com/bf07-moores-creek-npota-activation-12-30-2016/

The basic principle of 'use whatever you can, just get on the air!' 
always applies!  And it helps to have a rig like the KX3 with such an 
excellent ATU!


Cheers & 73,

Howie - WA4PSC

I'd call an ad-hoc antenna that works on multiple bands with an ATU a 
"Kinda-Random Antenna" (KRA). (Apologies to linguistic purists.)

Have you tried this with a low-power balun mounted right at the antenna jack? 
That will often help with RFI issues.
