[Elecraft] Favorite antennas for the K1 or K2?

[Lawrence Makoski]

Jeff,

I have a Butternut HF9V ground mounted in the backyard.  I also have a
full sized G5RV which is anchored to the house at one end, then goes to
a tree (center connector) and then makes a right turn and the other end
terminates at a mast.

My favorite of the two is the HF9V.  It plays well, and just about
everything I hear, I can work.  For details on my installation you can

The greatest coup for me was working V73GJ on February 7th of this year.
Jeff was on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands.  I was using the
Butternut with the K1 at 5 watts.  It worked out to be over 1, 400 miles
per watt.

By the way, did you get your front panel probelm figured out?
