[Elecraft] K1 on a sailboat

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

Check out the Par Electronics 20/40M endfed 1/2 wave.
I wish they had a 30M antenna.

They'll also do them with a BNC connector, for $5. more.

   I have a 37' charter lined up that i would love to take the K1 on.  My
   goal would be to be able to set up an antenna simply and easily at the
   end of the day, and just as easily tear it down in the morning before
   setting off on the next leg of the journey.  easy-up/easy down beats
   effectiveness, as long as i can make a couple of contacts for fun.  dx
   is great but not needed here.

   so is there any experience out on a handy antenna?  i do have the KAT1
   too, so hope that will help.  I've got a non insulated backstay, and of
   course can haul just about anything aloft with the halyards.

   perhaps just a simple old justinverted v?
