[Elecraft] Yippee, M0KWV finally gets on air with K1-K1-4 #1534

Congratulations on your first QSOs... adding that KAT1 will sort out your
power setting vs. power output. In addition, you can run your four band K1
into a few more antenna combinations: Just to wet your appetitie I was
camping at the weekend with a 66 foot doublet (same length as your dipole)
using 32 foot of 300 Ohm ribbon cable to a 4:1 voltage balun  (this will
tune up fine with 40/30/20/15 metre bands in a K1/4), my best DX was Japan
on 21 MHz with 5 Watts!

All the best

Dave, G4AON
K1 #1154, K2 #1892
