[Elecraft] KX3 Whip Antenna

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Small whips are popular for HF band mobile operation - pedestrian or
otherwise - because they are often the only thing one can use for an antenna
while in motion. 

For operation where one isn't moving, look for something, virtually
*anything* metal and try loading it up. Downspouts, a bridge, fences, window
frames, etc., often yield surprising results. At the very worst, they will
be many times better than a small whip.

Hi Chris

I just bought one of the MFJ 6-80m telescopic antennas with the small wire
tap on the coil that you use on the different bands. It works OK for what it
is and have made a few contacts with it indoors even can copy quite few
stations on the high bands during the day. I have made a few QSO's on 40m so
far none on 80m my worst outdoor wire antenna is so many times better though
not even funny. I also bought their power supply for the FT-817 it works
great with my KX3.

Any recommendations for a whip antenna to use with a KX3?

Thanks much, in advance.
