[Elecraft] KX1 antenna wire

Tue Oct 14 10:56:05 2003

Can't help with the wire specifically (pretty much anything will work 
anyway) however, past experience tells me that if you use the nut method 
or similar, make sure its heavy enough to pull the wires weight back to 
ground.  If you rely on pulling it back through the tree it *will* jam 
more often than not.
