[Elecraft] [K3] KAT3 and 160 with 40m long doublet

[Stephen Prior]

I guess I feel rather foolish.  Why I should have expected the KAT3 to
cope I don't know, perhaps I have been swayed by the reports of others who
have claimed that the KAT3 would load anything anywhere!  I shall have to
lengthen the antenna.

I don't have a good enough ground to feed the antenna as a Marconi so my
options other than lengthening the antenna are rather limited.  I'm not
limited by space so much as by a very convenient distance between two tall
trees!

Let us consider the topic closed!
