[Elecraft] PAR endz-fed

[K4IA at aol.com]

I have used a PAR end fed with my K1 at the  beach. I feed it at the top and 
run it from the condo balcony down at a slope to  somewhere I can tie it off 
where no one will run into it.  It works very  well - better than an Outback 
vertical attached to the balcony.  So far, no  one has complained and no one has 
tried to pull it down.  The K1 auto tuner  will tune it to other bands and it 
works but I am sure the efficiency is  compromised.

I am using the 40m  EndzFed at my QTH.  It slopes from 10 ft outside my  
shack to 40  ft up into a redwood tree. I do not have a lot  
configuration for a  decent 40M dipole.  Although not recommended by  
PAR, I have  worked stations on 60 and 80 meters with it using the K3   
autotuner.

I cannot compare the performance to other wires, however,  the unit is  
well made and has survived two winters and summers fine.  It worked  
well with my previous Yaesu rig, and seems to be fine with  my new K3.   
No rare DX, but I can usually work 'em if I can hear  them.  Support is  
very good, questions answered  quickly.

HOW MANY OF YOU ARE  USING PAR ELECTRONICS END FEDS WITH YOU K1 OR  
OTHER  ELECRAFTS.

I WOULD LIKE INPUT ON HOW THEY HAVE WORKED FOR YOU, AND HOW  YOU HAVE  
MOUNTED THEM.

I AM INTERESTED IN USING THEM AT THE  BEACH THIS SUMMER.

THANKS, CHUCK N4UED
