I woke up this morning a bit earlier than usual. Just happened to have the KX1
sitting on the bedside table. Just happened to have an invisible loop antenna
deployed around the ceiling ;)
Tuned up the rig using the KXAT1 ATU on 20 meters, and heard RZ1OM calling CQ.
Nabbed him on the second call! Not bad considering the operating situation:
- rig hand-held
- internal battery
- 1.7 watts
- indoor "lasso" antenna 8' off the ground, made from #26 enamel wire
- house electrical system as ground
- lying down
- XYL sleeping nearby, oblivious
:)
