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

[kevino z]

Yes, the packtenna pole is amazing, I used it throughout Europe this past summer.   My European friends recognized it as one made in  Germany.
You can't go wrong with anything George and the Packtenna crew have. 

Another choice for hotel balconies that travels nicely is the AlexLoop.
