[Elecraft] kx1 and earchi

[kg8jk]

Just picked up a couple of toroids at a swap and want to make an earchi
antenna for the kx1. As I want to take this backpacking the plan is to
connect directly to the radio and use a counterpoise instead of using coax
in order to save weight. Has anybody found the secret length for the antenna
to tune 20-80? How about counterpoise length? I did see a post that
suggested that over .05 wl on the counterpoise for an EFHW didn't yield much
improvement on performance. 

Just wanting to keep things as light as possible. Not even sure if I will
use a case for the toroid, maybe just a pigtail with a bnc on it.
