[Elecraft] Dusting off the old K3 & Considering a KAT3A

[Victor Rosenthal 4X6GP]

The KAT3A will make it possible to load almost anything. Definitely 
worthwhile. Even with antennas like the ones below.

You might think about an end-fed multiband antenna like this one:

It will still work if the wire is bent in numerous places. It might fit 
your "random" places.

If that's too big, here's a 40-10m version that's smaller:

I'm a big partisan of balanced antennas, but if the option is not to 
operate...
