[Elecraft] Antenna and battery for KX1

[Mike K8CN]

Hi Phil,

Shorten the radiator to 44 feet, but leave the counterpoise alone for now. 
The 65 foot length is nearly a perfect half-wave on 40 meters and will
present a very high impedance, possibly beyond the range of your tuner.  The
shortening won't help you on 80 meters, but if you can lengthen the radiator
to 88 feet you'll be in better shape for 80 meters.  Is your counterpoise on
the ground or elevated?  Do you have additional coax to the radiator or just
run the wire directly to your KX1?

73,
Mike, K8CN
