[Elecraft] Can Anyone recommended a great QRP Antenna and Antenna Pole for KX3

[Fred Jensen]

"Great" and "QRP" in the same sentence is an oxymoron if QRP implies 
portable packed in by a human. [:-)  About the "best" I've found for 
other than Class 4 mountaineering is a small mag loop.  I use an 
Alexloop [a little pricey] but they are easy to build for very little 
expense.  If you do choose to build one:

1.  Voltages/Circulating currents can be surprisingly high in loops, 
even at QRP.

2.  Use a capacitor with a 10:1 reduction on the shaft.  They get real 
touchy on 20 and below.
