[Elecraft] K2 fixed, but now what?

Get 86 ft of #18-#22 wire, throw it up in a tree, add a ~16 ft counterpoise
and go to town.  It's simple and works great.

HI GUYS/GALS,

I FINALLY GOT MY K2 ALL REALIGNED LAST NIGHT AND WITH THE MOD FOR THE HI CUR
SIGNS AND REMOVING RF ON THE ISENSE LINE.

BUT NOW THIS IS HOW I SET UP MY TEMPORARY ANTENNA THIS MORNING.  LOW ANGLE
RADITION WIRE 20FT RAN THROUGH MY WINDOW WITH WINDOW TURNED UP AGAINST THE
WIRE, AND THE END OF THE WIRE INTO KAT2 WITH NO GROUND.  I GET HI CUR AND
LOW P ON SOME BANDS. AND THE ELECRAFT RESETS ITSELF.

I KNOW I CALIBRATED/ALIGNED THE KAT2 CORRECTLY AND THE BASE K2 (CW ONLY)
PUTS OUT ITS FULL POWER ON ALL BANDS.

I THINK THAT MY PROBLEM IS NOW THE ANTENNA.  WHAT ARE YOUR IDEAS??

ON ANOTHER NOTE:
I WILL TRY TO BE MONITORING THE TWO AGREED UPON FREQUENCIES [21.332 &
18.132] BETWEEN 2PM AND 6PM.

DANIEL
