[Elecraft] Why did I purchase this antenna for the KX3?

When I travel to my New Hampshire QTH I take a PSK-20 radio and 
a 20 meter dipole. I hang it between the house and a tree at 
about 6 meters.

(If I had a KX3, I would be interested in a more wide-band 
antenna choice. My ever patient XYL doesn't need the KX3 budget 
hit after the K3 and P3 hits. hihi).

I have been amazed at the DXCCs I have been able to work with 
that combination. The east coast really has an advantage over 
the west coast with many easily contacted DXCC entities.

Cheers - Bill, AE6JV
