Dunno if this is ideal, however, I have 2 Hustler 6BTV's and they can be fed
together as a dipole. I plan to put them in a pvc pipe, for wx resistance
and some mechanical stability, and use them as a 6-band slopper, leaning
toward my tower and fed with 7/8 line to handle vswr excursions.
Bob,
An interesting idea for a multiband centre-fed antenna was described by
W4JRW in the December 1960 issue of QST, Multiband Antennas using
Decoupling Stubs.
The decoupling stubs that he used are not hung at right angles to the
antenna wire, but are horizontal stubs which results in a tidy
Bob/AB5N wrote of an antenna for the KX1:
I believe the criteria for an excellent antenna will be as follows:
1. Will match up well using the internal tuner on all four bands.
2. Has enough metal in the air to provide adequate microvolts to
the RX - to make it function well without being
Wow Guys, thanks!
It's great.. although this is my 5th sunspot cycle on the air, I am still
challenged with
projects like this- which I can use help with. Thanks for all the ideas!
I guess I have come to the conclusion that nobody has really run the gamut
trying antenna
designs for the KX-1.
Hi Guys-
Well, I'm in week two of enjoyment with my new KX-1. I did have a few
problems in assembling, but
that is history.
This little rig has a simple receiver which has only half the sensitivity of
a usual radio. As well, we are dealing
with 3-4 watts TX out max. We have to have an excellent
Bob,
How about just a basic dipole? Or, a fan dipole that resonates on the
appropriate bands.

Bob,
Actually, a properly functioning KX1 has an MDS of better than -130 dBm,
so it actually is a sensitive receiver.
Some like the Carolina Windom, but I don't like any unbalanced antennas,
and have a high preference for center fed antennas, they are easier to
tame, and if the feedline
I've had seemingly good results with my KX1 on 20, 30, and 40 just using the
25 ft wire thrown into a tree and a 16 ft counterpoise along the ground. The
KXAT1 found useable matches every time. It seems like I remember doing OK on
80 meters too, but that may have been into my 6BTV vertical at
8 matches
