That sounds liks fun John.
My next project is to try /PM with the KX1.
Not quite as exciting but I worked VK9LNO last night with the KX1 and a
longwire on 30 mtrs. running about 3 watts.
I'm still amazed by the little rig!

Subject: [Elecraft] KX1 Mojo /PM
It started in FYBO 2004. I worked Paul W0RW in a snow pile in CO from my
snow
pile in MO and later found out he was /PM. What started? My thinking
that
someday I needed to stick a whip in my back pocket and try not to
electrocute
myself. Then I was running my K2, but now my KX1 is begging to go /PM.
Last night I finally got around to it. Hustler whip in back pocket. KX1
on AA
batts running full out at 2 watts. Sixteen foot drag wire and looking for
signals on 20. Dog Josey standing by just in case I saw a bear. You know
I've
heard they like /PM hams.
ATU tunes the hustler 1 to 1. Only one strong signal and he was chewing
the rag
on 14059. Was afraid that the band would die. Move up 1 kc and play
memory one
three times. Low and behold Chris comes back on 14.060 from PA. An 800
mile
/PM QSO MO to PA on 2 watts /PM! And of course Chris was running his KX1,
what
else?
Can't explain the mojo. Did someone say we were at the bottom of the
cycle?

See you all at Dayton
