[Elecraft] K1 Pedestrian Mobile

[John Pfeifer]

Had a blast operating /PM with my K1 during last night's Spartan Sprint! 

I fastened my 20-ft black-widow fishing pole vertical to a pack frame.  The K1 
was hanging on my chest in a small camera bag, putting the front panel in 
clear view.  Tuned up just fine with the internal tuner using a trailing 
counterpoise.

I hiked around Spruce Cape on Kodiak Island.  Sending CW is a bit of a 
challenge while walking but good practice for head-copy.

Worked stations all over the "Lower-48" including K4THL in Florida.  That's 
4,050 miles great circle route.  Not bad for 5W pedestrian mobile.

Tnx/72,
