Just picked up a couple of toroids at a swap and want to make an earchi antenna for the kx1. As I want to take this backpacking the plan is to connect directly to the radio and use a counterpoise instead of using coax in order to save weight. Has anybody found the secret length for the antenna to tune 20-80? How about counterpoise length? I did see a post that suggested that over .05 wl on the counterpoise for an EFHW didn't yield much improvement on performance.
Just wanting to keep things as light as possible. Not even sure if I will use a case for the toroid, maybe just a pigtail with a bnc on it. 73 KG8JK -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/kx1-and-earchi-tp7626722.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 Message delivered to [email protected]
