[Elecraft] Best Antenna Portable/Tabletop Operation for KX3

[David F. Reed]

Fred,

for many, my self included, as long a wire as high up in a tree as I can 
get it, with a counterpoise about 50' long is my favorite.

The antenna wire up in the tree and going down to ground at the far end, 
and to the rig (Via BNC to binder post adapter) is typically about 130' 
in my use.  I have had great success and it is cheap, light, compact.

If I am going to the beach or mountain top (no trees) I use either my 
Buddipole or the Ventenna, whichever I brought; they both work very well 
for me.

Enjoy that KX3! 72 de Dave, W5SV
