[Elecraft] KX3 remote transmitting

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

Maybe it's just me, but....

I think before I put a whole lot of time, money and effort into getting 
an antenna on the knoll, I'd do some experimentation down in the valley.

Maybe buy a really great antenna, and if it doesn't work, re-use it on 
top of the knoll.
