I have been following the antenna threads since I started building the KX1. These experiments are based on that thread, the ARRL Handbook 2004, previous research into commercial verticals and my own experience. The goals are to find the best antenna for the KX1 under various operating conitions.

I am thinking of getting a scope to better build and repair Elecraft radios. I have a line on a Tektronix 2336YA 100 MHz 2 Chl. Oscilloscope that is calibrated! It is about $200. Is this a good deal? Is this a good scope? Thanks, Jack, AE6GC
