[Elecraft] Operating the KX1 in the Snow

[WHam727 at aol.com]

Paul was a true 599 in Dallas and the KX1 sounded great...really nice CW  
note and keying.  This end was a K2 SN 4637 and a MINI-33 @ 35'..
 
Thanks for the PM contact Paul.

i was just out doing an FYBO (Freeze Your Boots Off) shake down run in the  
snow.
i put my KX1 in an 8" x 7" thin plastic bag.
i cut a hole in the  side for the paddle.
It works well, it is a little hard to tune the big  frequency knob but
it kept it very dry.
Just worked w5kdj, ak5x, kd7bvn  pedestrian mobile with a 10 foot whip.
VE3WMB has his KX1 out today,  operating pedestrian mobile, i just worked him
