[Elecraft] Ki and MP-1 antenna

[Treat Hull]

Yves

I completed my K-1 earlier this spring. If you're getting very little, I
would be inclined to suspect the radio (or even the antenna plug) rather
than the antenna. I can put 15 feet of hookup wire up a tree in Toronto and
get "acceptable" reception ;-}. If you can't pick up signals with a piece of
wire over a tree, take a look at the radio.

In my case, I had great reception right from the start on the lower bands,
but nothing on 20M and 15M. Turned out to be a construction error on my
part.

Hi friends!
Any of you using the K1 with an MP-1 antenna?
I do not hear much with this antenna!
Sometimes just nothing!!!!
What do you use as a portable antenna with the K1?
