[Elecraft] A Good Day With The KX1

[Paul Gates, KD3JF]

The YL and I had a good day at the National Zoo
in Wash. DC .... Set up the KX1 in the Parking
Lot with a 40 meter Ham Stick and made contacts
with the KX1. I was excited about that because I
have made very few contacts in the past with the
KX1.

I have not hooked any cables up to the car 
battery yet but a few months ago John Harper had
told me about the 11.1 V. LiPoly battery and used
it today. The KX1 was putting out 3.5-4 watts so
that made it pretty easy to have some contacts.

We parked by an Island of grass under a shady
tree and set up our 2 folding chairs with a shelf
on the right side of the chair so that made
operating a breeze. The Antenna was in the clear
and set up in the center of the rear deck of our
Impala.
