[Elecraft] Weight

[wa2dkg@juno.com]

Is a one ounce tear drop sinker, 1 1/2" long and 5/8" in diameter and
carried in your watch pocket really a burden?...It has tie loop on it and
will not slip out of the knot, as a stone might...It is a small, dense
weight and can be much more accurately aimed and thrown than a stone
twirled on the end of string...I use a clove hitch to attach the line to
the wire...

"Think about it.  The main reason (besides its trail-friendly features)
that 
you're carrying a KX1 in your backpack is that it is very light weight. 
Why 
add the weight of a thingy that weighs more for antenna launching? 
Replace 
that weight with a little skill."
