[Elecraft] KX1/PM (pedestrian mobile) tips: tuning the VFO while walking

[brianb]

FYI - Pedestrian mobile side effects: My wife used to attend ham fests 
with me. A few years ago in a Monterey gathering she saw someone with a 
leather harness holding HT and a QRP rig. His hat contained a VHF 
antenna and he had a short 8 ft whip on his back. Associated radios, 
mics, etc were on the front of the harness. She asked me after he passed 
by to never ask her again to attend one of these affairs again as things 
were beginning to look a bit strange :).

Have fun with the mobile set up.
