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.
