[Elecraft] Strong recommendation: MFJ 18xx-series single-band whips for KX3, etc.

> But I can testify that from my experience working QRP in major DX contests, a few dB can be the difference between making a QSO or not, mostly based on the noise level at the other end. And 7+ dB is a LOT.

That's true. But when I'm out hiking, doing quick deployments, I'm willing to accept -7 dB. Band not open enough? Enjoy the scenery.
