For weekend getaways to a summer house, I have been successful with the following equipment:
KX1 with built-in tuner Sony sensitive earbuds Elecraft paddle and a spare (KXPD1 and Paddlette PK1) Power Station (7AH gel cell) with power cord 40-m dipole (with 300-ohm twinlead feedline) Antenna wire rolled up into a plastic camping clothesline reel. SD-20 fiberglas pole with 2 bungee cords to secure to the back deck BNC to Binding Post adaptor or Elecraft Balun Logbook and pen Sometimes I use a BLT tuner with a small BNC-to-BNC cable. For the beach, the pole fits into a fishing pole holder that is stuck in the sand. I carry a small meter and some tools like a multi-attachment screwdriver and a wire stripper/cutter. I also include some spare adaptors and a fresh set of internal batteries. I have worked all over the place on 40m, 30m, and 20m with great results. I've even worked some DX through pile ups. I'm looking for a nice, simple way to roll up the 50 feet of feedline. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
