[Elecraft] EFHW

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

What I'd do if I was carrying it all on my back is take about 3 
different lengths of wire with banana plugs on end, and banana jacks on 
the other.

Use one as a counterpoise if needed.  Use one or two as the radiator, 
depending on how well it tunes.  You won't be using a resonant antenna 
because the KX2/KX3 won't tune it.

53' gets mentioned a lot as a good "random" wire length for most bands.  
I think the other two could be 8' and 15' since one would be a 
counterpoise, and the other would be used to change the overall length 
of the antenna itself -- that'd give you two steps.
