Hello all, I posted a message about a week ago asking if there would be any problems taking a ham radio on a trip aboard a commercial airline. Well I took my KX1 to my son's place for a long weekend. I never had a problem. Packed it in my baggage. Battery, end fed dipole, small key, copy of my license and diagram of the antenna setup. Never got one question about it in the baggage. The main reason I took the little rig was to set it up in my sons backyard with the help of his two young sons. They were amazed at the little rig. Also never heard cw before. (Ages 11 and 8) So after explaining and letting them get the feel of the cw key,they really liked it. For myself and the two boys it was a great experience. Now hoping one or maybe both will want to become a ham. (have lots of gear for them hi hi). Thanks to all for responding with suggestions and help about transporting the rig.
P.S. also made several nice contacts.....
