Greetings all,
I just received a mailing from Surplus Computers which is advertising

(http://www.ssiserver.com/info/pskmeter/). After reading about it in
QST last February, I ordered and built the kit.
PSKmeter is a essential one-trick-pony for PSK ops. Very neat. I have
built and use 2 of them.
There is also anothe

I'd like to invite you all to visit my new website featuring (a couple,
so far) items for the KX1. I hope to be adding other selected QRP

Okay, this is a follow-up to my KX1 antenna question posted last night.

Cushcraft MA5V "Mini Vertical"
