[Elecraft] [KX3] Portable Antenna question

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

Of course -- and experimenting is half the fun.  I expect to go through 
a lot of wire playing.

I'm pretty good with the theory -- and as everyone has said, it makes 
sense to avoid feeding the end of a half-wave wire.

I haven't yet found the impedance range for the tuner in the manuals.  
I'm still reading.

I also moved not too long ago, and a lot of things (like my antenna 
book) are in a box somewhere.  I'm still searching.  I think my Par 
EF-20 is in one of those boxes, as is a nice chunk of coax with a BNC on 
one end, and a PL-259 on the other.  I did find my straight key, but I 
haven't been on CW this millenium.

... and I've got 100' of Wireman #534 due to arrive tomorrow.  I can 
always buy more.
