[Elecraft] KX1/ Pedestrian Mobile @ Lobstercon

[Michael Babineau]

While at Lobstercon this past weekend, in a moment of true insanity,
I decided to try operating in the IARU HF contest as a 20M pedestrian
mobile station with my KX1 .

I ran 1 watt  into a 4ft base loaded 20M telescopic whip attached to 
the rig's
BNC connector and a 14.5 ft trailing wire attached to one of the screws
holding the back of the case on.

Standing out in the middle of a field at the campground with the KX1 in
my hand, I managed to work 3 stations in about 30 minutes of operating
with the best DX being F5VHY.

Is this fun or what?

P.S  SWR was 1.3 :1 using the KXAT1 internal tuner.
