Leigh, Thanks for the update - sounds like Lakeview has updated their product line since I last bought a HamStick.
At lunch today I tried a brief Ham Radio Experiment, and answered my own question: took my 40M HamStick base and put a shorty whip from an old 2m antenna on it -- 9 inches of whip gave a minimum 2:1 SWR on 30 meters - well within the range of the ATU in my K1. It seemed to hear well, but I haven't tried to transmit on it yet, so I don't know if this is actually a workable solution, but it looks promising. We're having nice spring-like weather in the Northeast these past few days, so I may get to try some more tomorrow. 73, Mike N2HTT > Mike, > The Lakeview company makes both short and long Hamsticks (their > brand). > I have found I can put the short ones for 40, 30, and 20 on top of > my > Subaru Outback and drive around town, but the long ones are only > good > when parked. > Leigh / WA5ZNU _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
