[Elecraft] Best Antenna Portable/Tabletop Operation for KX3

[Chip Stratton]

The wire pulled up into a tree and tuned with the KX3 ATU works well for me
40 ft with 3 16 foot radials on the ground). So also does a PAR end fedz
antenna, though I just have the 20m version. Sometimes putting a wire into
a tree isn't the ideal (like on some SOTA peak activations). For that, I've
found that the AlexLoop Walkham works amazingly well for something so easy
to carry and set up. Big downside is the expense, but it has worked
extremely well for me on 15, 20, and 30m. Not enough datapoints to comment
on 40m or 10m, but it does tune up on those bands.
