Hi guys-just wanted to report that I had a fun weekend using the KX2 and my new W4OP loop outdoors. First was Saturday on the 7QP party, and managed some contacts all around the country on 20 M before I got frozen out..today was warmer and I did a SOTA activation (W70/WV-138 Skyline Ridge) and knocked off 12 quick Q’s on 20 and 40. Particularly on 20 I snagged stations midwest and southeast with really strong signals. Don’t let anyone tell you the bands are dead-just have some patience. All 5W and I had the loop on a camera tripod up about 6 feet. They take patience to tune but I was down around 1:5/1.I will say that little speaker in the KX2 does a fine job outdoors-there was a group of us,otherwise I’d use phones.To me this is what it’s all about…!
