[Elecraft] K1 & Long Wire Antenna

[Ron D' Eau Claire]

 A very simple way is to pick up a BNC/SO-239 adapter to go in the back of
your K1. Radio Shack sells them. That gives you a regular female "UHF" type
coaxial connector. Then get a standard banana plug. It will seat very nicely
in the center pin hole of the coaxial connector jack.

And if you ever find yourself somewhere where you want to hook up to a
'regular' coaxial connector, you already have the adapter in your kit.
