Re: [Elecraft] Portable vertical antenna
Hi Ken! Another option is cheap an lightweight. I tried this with my K1. As ground i used 2 wires of 13 feet each and 50 feet as longwire direct to the k1 . I used bnc-UHF adapter and a bananastick in one end of the longwire. The 6-8 feet nearest to the k1 was very little sensitive to nearby objects so it could touch trees and simillare. I worked with this setup very easy from my qth in North Norway down to sentral europe and RI9KM in asia. The antenna could be carried in your pocket and weights under 0,3Kg.. BANG FOR THE BUCK. I think you can make this antenna for under $10. 73 de Tom LA1PHA - Original Message - From: Ken Kirkley [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 3:07 AM Subject: [Elecraft] Portable vertical antenna Thanks to each who sent me a suggestion for a portable vertical antenna for use while camping.

Re: [Elecraft] Portable vertical antenna
I've been using the Vertical Black Widow Fishing Pole Antenna (VBWFPA) made by WA3WSJ. Works great for me!

Part of the campgrounds that I use do not allow wires to be attached to the trees. Therefore, I am in need of a good vertical that I can use with my KX1. To reduce cost, I am looking to build one myself. Any suggestions! God Bless, Ken/NO4D ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
