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

[Andrew Moore]

By "minimalist" I'm referring not to the price, but to the construction of
the antenna, if it's what people say it is.

I'm not saying people should run out and buy one; my point (and only point)
is Philip had (and enjoyed) success with something others are quick to
dismiss as junk.  As Philip said, I encourage others to do the same.  Not
saying you have to spend $130 :)
