I took my KX1 on a cruise thru the Panama Canal. I have an MP-1 knockoff that I thought about but didn't take. The resonator looks a lot like a pipe bomb on the x-ray, and I didn't think I'd have much success explaining the theory behind base-loaded short HF antennas to the TSA folk, they have a hard time understanding the scrap metal buried in my shoulder. Whatever you choose to take, include a copy of your license, and an explanation of what it is. That's worked for me ... so far. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2012 Cal QSO Party 6-7 Oct 2012 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
