Hello all, I hiked up to Pulpit Rock about a two-mile hike straight up the mountain for the PBMME. After setting up my KX1 and my Bead-Wire Antenna, I called CQ and WA8REI came back to me from MI! He gave me a 579 report and he was strong as well. I worked more stations after him including an IK2 on 30m with 3.5w. Looks like I have a winner to use for backpacking. I'll post some pictures on my website soon.
By the way the entire Bead-Wire Antenna weighs-in at 2 oz. including the small spool! That's 40' of bead wire for the radiator and three 16' ground radials! The wire is the type used for beading -yes jewelry! 72, Ed,WA3WSJ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
