[Elecraft] OT: Sigma-40xk comments

[Daniel Reynolds]

I apologize for the off-topic nature of this posting.

Please reply to me _OFF LIST_ if you have a Sigma-40xk.

I'd like to hear about...
- your impressions
- how you have it mounted
- how well it has worked for QRP
- how easy/difficult it is to set up and change bands
- and if you have one for sale... let me know that too.

Also - how does it compare with other antennas you have.

I'm considering one for setting up temporarily as needed in the front yard (too
much metal + utility lines/noise in the back yard). I'm thinking about pounding
a steel pipe into the ground that it could slide down into. The house would be
about 20-30 ft away (is that too close?). Since it would receive mostly
evening/weekend use, my main bands would be 20/30/40m ('front porch' QRP
CW/SSB).

Thanks and 72/73!
