[Elecraft] K3 & S9 43' Vertical

[Julius Fazekas n2wn]

Hi Tom,

Check out Phil's, AD5X, site: http://www.ad5x.com/articles.htm

He has written a number of articles related to your questions. Good
information with plenty of "how to" ideas with locally found materials.

Elecraft's Balun kit is also capable of 1:4 unun and will easily work with
any 100 watt rig.

QST has had several items related to the ubiquitous 43' verticals that are
all the rage now. I see at least one person has mentioned radials, which are
a must have to effectively use this antenna on 80-30.

The K3's ATU is very effective, but keep in mind that you will be matching
the feedline and antenna as a unit, versus matching just the antenna. The K3
will most likely find a match most of the time, but you still could be
seriously mismatched at the antenna. It may work, it just won't work well.

GL es 73,
Julius
