Chris, I used my K1 mobile a few times with a 40 meter hamstick type antenna. Once was on field day weekend a few years ago when I was on my way to Montreal for the jazz festival. Made quite a few contacts while my wife was driving. I also used it on trips back and forth to Massachusetts to visit my son when he was in law school. Nice rig. I still use it at home occasionally when I'm not using the K3, but I have an FT-857D installed in the mobile now for my one hour commute to work every day. 73, Art WB8ENE

Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2012 18:02:31 -0700 (PDT) Chris, AJ1G from Stonington, CT here. Just subscribed to the list today. I have been running my K1 mobile for over a year now, mostly on 40 CW, less so on 20. Originally in our 1998 Volvo V70XC, recently relocated to our new Tacoma 4X4, along with an old RT-77 AN/GRC-9 Army field/vehicular radio. I use Hamstick clones, mostly the OPEKs,and have had some amazing QSOs with the K1, most notably a 40 M QSO to ZL early one morning from down at my favorite local mobile operating spot, Stonington Point, CT, about 5 miles from here. Interested in hearing about other people's experiences doing mobile ops with the K1 or other Elecraft rigs. Only issue I currently have with my K1 is a flaky headphone jack connection, seems like the problem is in the jack contacts and the jack will need to be replaced. I assume that I should be able to get one from Elecraft and that I can find info on how to go about that here on the forum. <http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/file/n7563955/100_3139.jpg> ----- Chris, AJ1G Stonington, CT -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Any-K1-Mobileer-s-Out-There-tp7563955.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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 ____________________________________________________________ Woman is 53 But Looks 25 Mom reveals 1 simple wrinkle trick that has angered doctors... http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL3231/507741e0e361041e025best03vuc ______________________________________________________________ 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
