Just returned from another two weeks in the UK, this time bringing my KX3. My wife and I visit her mother in the Borders area of southeastern Scotland four (+/-) times a year. I duplicated Wayne Burdick's kit as closely as possible, but it's really a nice weather sort of system and, frankly, I've found there isn't a whole heck of a lot of that in Scotland.
I use a TransWorld antenna here with very good results, and I hear good things about the Buddipole. I'd like to use something like that over there and just keep it at my mother-in-law's place so I don't incur extra baggage charges and stress about lost luggage. Given shipping and potential duty costs, I'm wondering if there is something portable like the TransWorld or Buddipole that's made in the UK or perhaps elsewhere in Europe that I could acquire and store there between trips. Can anyone make any suggestions? I'm operating mostly 20 and 17 meters these days, but also interested in 30 and 40 meters. By the say, I had no hassles with security with the KX3 either in leaving the U.S. at Dulles Airport, or in Paris during two transfers, or in Edinburgh. I did carry my original license and printouts of CEPT operations in both English and French in the carrying case, but no one asked to see them. 73, Dennis, N7DH/4 Hillsboro, Virginia ______________________________________________________________ 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
