[Elecraft] KX1 - Icefishing + FYBO

[Dennis Payton]

Saturday was the first time I've operated my KX1 out of the house, and I
took it icefishing with me so I could make some FYBO contacts. I hadn't set
up a vertical out in the middle of a lake before, so it was a learning
experience, and a bit of a comedy of errors at first, but the next time
should be a breeze. The rig worked fabulously! I used the Ade Weis SDRV and
hurriedly hooked it up wrong but didn't notice until I was taking it down.
The KX1 tuned it to 1:1 on 30 and 40, and two of my first three contacts
commented on my strong signal, so it must not have hurt me much.
