I was out of town on a business trip this week, which gave me a good
opportunity to try the antenna suggested by Bruce. I used his 68'
with the 33' counterpoise. The kx1 obtained a flat match on 20, 30
and 80, but 40 was 1.9.
I then tried Ron's suggestion. I had a 13' piece of wire so I

Between those two, you're taken care of with the KX1. 73 de Alex NS6Y.

I've been following the 4-band antennas for KX-1 thread. Interesting and a
real challenge for field operations. K2HYD's idea of a 51 foot antenna and
counterpoise was helpful.
Some additional thoughts- the ATU in the KX-1 is a little limited, as
compared to other larger ATUs with more
In an earlier post, I mentioned using a small inductor - such as some
enameled wire wound on a plastic 35-mm film can - with a number of tap
points to add inductance to the antenna. It goes in series with the hot
side of the KX1 output. That will usually let you adjust the electrical
length of the
