[Elecraft] KX3 Antenna Tuner & the T1

[Al Gulseth]

Wayne,

Pardon me if I missed where the details were posted, but I'd like more info on 
the "50' off-center-fed wire" antenna you mention. I'm assuming you mean 50' 
long, but are you using the traditional 1/3 - 2/3 feedpoint or one of the 
other "offsets" that some authors mention?

This sounds like a good possibility for a portable ops "wire in the trees" 
antenna. (My primary portable interest is 40/30/20/15 and I'd like to know 
how it loads on those bands.)

TNX/73, Al
