I had great luck with a Windom (135 ft and gerrymandered at 10-15 ft 
high) from Walla Walla (SE  WA) in 1954-1955.  Worked the world on 80 CW 
with 75-100 W (DC input) -- including a couple of 599 reports (QSL 
verified) from South Africa.  A much maligned antenna, but it worked 
well for me.

I wonder if the KX1 would load a (40 m = 67 ft) Windom on 40 and 20?
