Re: [Elecraft] The KAT's in the house
David, Have you tried your delta loop on 6m? Even though the 6m pattern might resemble a hedgehog, depending upon where the delta's feeder is attached, it should be useful. 73, Geoff LX2AO On October 19, 2012 at 3:57 AM, David Poplewski wrote: > At any rate I will be re-configuring the shack over the weekend to get > the KAT500 to start littering some RF and do some evaluation on > performance on my antennas, which cover 160 mtr inverted V, 160-10mtr > vertical, 80-10mtr delta loop and 20-10mtr TH7Dxx beam.

[Elecraft] The KAT's in the house
I'm happy to report that the big brown truck rolled in late this evening and delivered serial no 22 of the factory wired KAT500. Finally the KAT's in the house. The packaging was great. Well packed, and UPS handled it very well. The unit looks great. The manual that shipped with the unit obviously is not the final production manual as it says on page one "cover image TBD" and "draft XB October 11,2012. Certainly not a show stopper as I'm sure Elecraft will be sending final production manuals to early adopters when they are ready and available. The only disappointment at this time is that Elecraft didn't address the one thing I ask them about at Dayton. To look into putting the wire bail on the bottom like the KPA500, so you could have the KPA500 on top of the KAT500 and elevate the package. Maybe they did look into and the real estate just wasn't available to accomplish it, but it sure would have been nice. At any rate I will be re-configuring the shack over the weekend to get the KAT500 to start littering some RF and do some evaluation on performance on my antennas, which cover 160 mtr inverted V, 160-10mtr vertical, 80-10mtr delta loop and 20-10mtr TH7Dxx beam. Sorry for you 6mtr guys but I don't have anything on 6. 73 David KC8IV __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
