Chris, I have used mine mobile 40,30,20, &17. I use hamstick ant. Many
contacts including some DX even on 40. I use mine also potable with a 32' Vert,
held up with a Jackite pole.
I have also used some 2 watt rigs mobile on 40 meters. Kept me company
going back and forth to work. Retired now so not as much mobile, but more
portable operation. 72 George/W2BPI
Chris, AJ1G from Stonington, CT here. Just subscribed to the list today.
I
have been running my K1 mobile for over a year now, mostly on 40 CW, less
so
on 20. Originally in our 1998 Volvo V70XC, recently relocated to our new
Tacoma 4X4, along with an old RT-77 AN/GRC-9 Army field/vehicular radio. I
use Hamstick clones, mostly the OPEKs,and have had some amazing QSOs with
the K1, most notably a 40 M QSO to ZL early one morning from down at my
favorite local mobile operating spot, Stonington Point, CT, about 5 miles
from here.
Interested in hearing about other people's experiences doing mobile ops
with the K1 or other Elecraft rigs.
