Hello all, The other week I bought a 40 foot spool of "bead wire." Today I tied a fishing swivel to one end and then added Around 40' of 30lb test fishing line. On the other end I took off about 1/2" of the plastic coating. The whole radiator assembly fits on the original bead-wire spool and is narrow and even has a plastic snap cover to keep the wire and line on the spool.
I also added another radial wire to the other two for a total of Three ground radial wires of 16' each. My KX1 tunes this configuration 1.1:1 on 40m, 1.0:1 on 30m and 1.2:1 on 20m. I'll give this a try in the field! Oh yes the whole radiator wire spool weighs-in at less than an ounce! 72, Ed, WA3WSJ PB # 2 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
