[Elecraft] [KX1] On the trail with the KX1 -- Antenna?

[Phil Hystad]

Thanks for the comments on using the KX1 on the trail.  I will probably wait on something like the AlexLoop but I am curious about how it performs versus the Buddipole antenna.  I mean, if I am going to carry an antenna contraption rather then just coils of wire, the Buddipole looks interesting too.
