[Elecraft] KX3 Musing..

[Kevin Rock]

I think 160m to 2m is asking a little much from a fractal patch antenna.   
But from 20m to 2m should be within the ballpark of a dedicated antenna  
designer.  I don't think there is enough space on the rig for those lower  
bands.  But some of the grad students at the U of New Mexico were working  
on just such things during my time there.  My advisor was the one leading  
that research.  Professor Christos Christodoulou.  Lots of interesting  
design notes in his CV.
    73 and GL on that fractal patch design!
