I agree with Martin, the SSB module added to the existing KX1. The KX1 being a
builders kit radio now, the space inside may be at a premium, so the SSB module
could be a pre made one as surface mount components, so it could fit inside,

Is this feasible?

Verticals with proper radial systems work just fine. People even do

If you can put up a beam no one should take this as a negative.
In my MarkV Field, I can switch the (2.4k?) SSB filter into the path while

Having a good receiver with a good antenna is key, a good antenna will go
places but you have to hear them first. This is where Elecraft gear shines -
