[Elecraft] KX1 possible antenna

[Pete Meier]

Radio Shack makes a lightweight SWL antenna using 23 ft of a small 
gauge, insulated wire that rolls up into a small, plastic reel. Just 
about perfect length that stores neatly on the enclosed reel. It loads 
up well on all 3 KX1 bands using the ATU.
Radio Shack # is 278-1374 and costs about $9.95. Considering the handy 
storage case (reel) it's not a bad price.

Just happened to have one and tried it tonight and thought I'd share 
the info.  I'm considering buying a second one to use as a 
counterpoise.
