[Elecraft] KX1 Field Day fun!

[Bill Miner]

Wayne,
 
My KX1 field day experience was similar to yours.
 
Using an external R/C car rechargeable "9.6 Volt" battery pack for extended power reserve and a simple antenna up in the tress I had no trouble working many stations from New York to Hawaii and north to Alaska.
 
What a blast!  Thanks for a great rig design....

<I snuck in about an hour of FD operation late tonight, setting up camp  <in the back yard. The KX1 is perfect for this type of ad-hoc  
<installation -- just toss a wire in a tree and plug in the attached  
<keyer paddle. Signals were quite good...
