Re: [Elecraft] High bands open
Yea, back in 1959 as a novice, I worked all over EU with a DX-20 and a single wire antenna. Yes, I could also hear the TV two doors down and the little old lady screaming at the screen. I don't think she really understood the source (her unshielded TV tuner) and maybe a little harmonic RF from me.

Re: [Elecraft] High bands open
Exactly When I was first licensed in 1971, a guy up the street waxed poetic about 1957, when he used an 11 meter AM walkie-talkie to work VK while standing in his front yard in San Diego. This was the vision that eventually led to the KX3, and later the KX2, which is half the size/weight, more like the all-band HT I couldn't quite build in high school :) Wayne > On Dec 19, 2021, at 1:03 PM, Rich Lim wrote: > > Yep Wayne!
