[Elecraft] Antennas for K1 field use

[Bob Jones]

I agree that random wires and fishing poles are as good as most  
antennas in the field but a PAC12, or homebrew version of the same,  
needs no other supports and is compact and light. It's an ideal beach  
antenna, where salt water helps minimise ground losses, and I've had  
plenty of transatlantic QSOs with the PAC12 and 3W from a K1 and KX1.  
At least for these circumstances, it's a good compromise. Beaches tend  
to be short of trees!
