Easy solution. Set the filter to look for [Elecraft] in the Subject or Header

Or you can make up your own definition. The last three could be Horizontal

Hi,
I get elecraft-bounces... in the From in all my Elecraft

Hi Elecrafters,
will there be a KRC2 configuration utility in the near future? I would
really like to configure the thing via software. I often change antenna
configuration in my fieldday setups, but would like to use ONE pre-
assembled control-line with water-proof/assembled connectors, etc.
Howdy Geoff,
You may have better luck checking in with these folks:

This is just to say that the Eurasian ECN is still alive. Unfortunately I

I noticed a couple of nights ago that the computer interface cable to
the KPA100 was causing so much noise that I couldn't hear YV0D. Well, he
couldn't hear me so it's a moot point, but I'm using a Keyspan USB to
serial adapter. Anyone know of any quieter adapters or filtering advice?

EFHWA - End Fed Half Wave Antenna - Some examples found on the web:

A commercial version, very nicely made, in my opinion, is made by Par
Electronics and sold by Universal Radio.
It's got a sealed coupling network with a SO239 and the actual antenna
wire is replaceable.

That's embarrassing. I was looking for a word that started with A, and

Thanks Guido... yes, I would like to see the schematic if you would
like to post it. Very nice work! From your photos, it looks like you
have a fun group of Elecraft owners there!

For a single band, there is an interesting old-time alternative called
a single wire Windom. It is a horizontal halfwave with a single wire
feedline connected to the horizontal wire off-center. For 20 the
dipole part is 34 feet. The single wire feed is soldered to the
horizontal at a point 12.5
You just described the antenna I take camping with me and my K2. I have
an ATU on the original top so it works nicely. The flex weave makes it
very nice for throwing up and taking down. I can tie knots in the wire
and they come out fine. I tie a sheet bend to some mason's line and take

I don't know why the ratio was changed in the first place, but I really
don't think it will make much difference in the signal level. You can try
re-winding it and see what happens. The biggest difference should be in the
termination impedance of the filter.
The 20/5 transformer has a
The windom has been a popular and effective antenna that turns up
regularly since I got my first ticket over half a century ago.
Originally it was an alternative to using heavy, open wire feedline for a
horizontal dipole. The idea was that the single wire feeder would attach
