[Elecraft] KX-1 Operation

[Tony Estep]

Arnie, I used almost exactly the same setup in the faculty housing at Indian
School of Business in Hyderabad with my KX1. I used longer wires: 50' for
the antenna, and 25' for the counterpoise.

Signals were few, and noise was high, but with patient tuning I heard about
a dozen Asian countries, all on 20M. Nothing on 40 or 80. I couldn't
transmit, having no license.

I'd suggest adding more wire and sticking to 20 meters. Try it at home with
various configurations. The receiver in the KX1 is amazingly sensitive and
fun to use.
