[Elecraft] KX1 shakedown

[Cherie and Lynn Hammond]

Shook down my new KX1 in the QRP ARCI Spring QSO party - 15 qso's and 11 
SPC  - most on 20 meters and off the end of my dipole. During the lulls, 
I also worked HA, OM and a few JA's. This is a nice rig, and very much 
up to my expectation, although the temptation to lie on the couch with a 
wire hung over the curtain rod and tune around is great! I am looking 
forward to taking it on the road this summer.

Only question is the single signal characteristic. Stronger signals can 
be detected on the "wrong" side of zero beat, although this is barely 
noticable except in the case of very strong (like AL7FS just down the 
streeet) signals. All crystals are appropriately grounded. Is this 
normal for this little rig?
