[Elecraft] Best Antenna Portable/Tabletop Operation for KX3

[Donald Butler]

I looked at the buddipole and similar types, but quickly rejected the
notion ... It looked to me like you need to rebuild the antenna every
time you change bands with those gadgets.... And that just wouldn't work
for me.  I use a random wire with counterpoise with my KX1 and KX3 ....
And rather than using trees for support, which can be a real PITA, I use
a telescoping painters pole purchased at Lowes, support it with a
speaker stand purchased from a music store  (musiciansfriend.com), and
guy it with rope.... It gets up to around 22 feet..

Looking for the best out of the worst kind of antenna for my KX3 all
band. I have the MFJ telescopic with the taps you plug into for the
different but there must be something better out there.

 

What have others used that they have been pleased with performance of? I
have checked the reviews of others and most seem to be not much better
than what I have, the Perth among them.
