[Elecraft] KX1: "lasso" antenna worked best

[Wayne Burdick]

Bill,

I initially tried a true loop, but it didn't load as well as a "lasso" (closed
loop with a single-wire tail running to the KX1's antenna jack). The room is
probably 14 x 15'. For a ground, I used a 12' piece of hookup wire, but I'm
thinking about trying the ground screw on a nearby AC outlet panel. (Do try this
at home! But be careful....).
