My favorite all around travelling/hiking KX3 antenna is a 20 mtr endfed half wave (EFHW) wire fed with an electrical quarter wave of TV twinlead. See http://w0vlz.blogspot.com/2012/06/another-portable-antenna.html With the KX3/KXAT3 it will load up on 40, 30, 20, 17 and 10.

Here's another way to do it.

All you need is some wire, some coax, that PL259 adapter, and a clamp-on ferrite core. Adjust the length of wire and the distance between the wire and the ferrite choke so that each are a quarter-wave. This antenna can be rigged horizontally, vertically, or sloping, depending on the available skyhooks.
