[Elecraft] [KX1] Xtal Filter Performance?

[The Smiths]

I took a KX1 to the Philippines with me and I was able to work over 12 different countries including Russia, the North Pole, the Bahamas, as well as pretty much everything in Asia (seriously).  I used a 28 AWG wire 28 feet long thrown up into a Coconut tree with 2 pieces of 28 awg wire thrown on the ground.. One 16' and the other 35' long.  I worked on 20 and 30 meters all day and night long.
That rig impressed me to no end.  I wouldn't go on vacation again without it!  Thanks Wayne
