[Elecraft] Homebrew field/camping antennas for your K1/K2 using the KAT2 to tune?

[David E. Shelton]

Hello all,

I have finished the addition of the audio filter, internal battery, and auto
antenna tuner options for my K2. I am planning on using the K2 this summer
in the field for FD and camping trips. What are some of the simple antennas
people on the list here are using, other than the usual basic dipole.
Considering a basic wire vertical about 30ft long radiator with 4 pairs of
twin lead radials connected to a 5ft piece of old coax, rg-213, to get the
antenna a little ways from the rig and operator. I would like to hear any
ideas or examples of antennas used with success on this type of setup.

Tnx es 73,
David, N4IN
