Re: [Elecraft] 80M on KX1

I Tom, I use the antenna suggested by Bruce Prior (N7RR) on QRP-L, which is 67' - 9 with a counterpoise of 33'. Please have a look at my KX1-Canso Causeway web page for further details. http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/ppike/csway.html Good luck, 73, Paul -ve1dy- On Fri, May 2, 2008 at 8:40

the battery; the setup works well. However, reading today's threads about leaking batteries renews my concerns about batteries in general. I'd certainly be disappointed if that ever happened. Maybe if you stick with the battery that Elecraft sells, it won't happen. Good luck deciding... 73, Paul

Hi Mike, I'd use any old wire you can find at a good price. Home Depot must have something, and I wouldn't bother with the double binding post at all. I prefer alligator clips. You can see what I use on my KX1 web page: http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/ppike/csway.html Good luck, Paul -- Paul
