[Elecraft] KX1 Antenna

[Jean-François Ménard]

I never done this, but I did one out of a 28' wire as the antenna with 
two 16' radials. But the wire I use and choose is the same wire that 
good quality scope probe are made of.... Ultra flexible red and black 
wire 20 gauge stranded..... you can operate from -20 C or more.... keep 
it's flexibilty even on frozen wheather... that is a feature I need and 
found... the ability to keep flexibility under frozen days... ;-)
