[Elecraft] [KX1] Key input doesnt like capacitance

[AB8XA]

Here's another happy camper with the KX1, a Hustler 6BTV over 40 radials at home and a 26 foot random wire in the field.

I'm considering a 26 foot wire on a 28 foot Jackite fiberglass pole for 20, 30, and 40 meters with a clip-on 40 foot wire at the top, run via dacron line to a tree for an inverted-L on 80 meters. We'll see.
