Sweet!  See what I am missing because I only have one HF radio?  Can't
get Momma to understand this....  I "need" a KX3 and a KX2 to go with my
K3s...  One in the shack, one in the truck, and one for backpacking
and/or backup when I send them in for updates y'all won't let me do.  :-D

??...  How do you make a 1000-watt QSO with 8-watts out on a dipole? 
I've been looking for that very loophole in the laws of physics ALL MY
LIFE!  ;-)
Building a tri-band 6m/2m/70cm vertical dipole....  Trying to figure out
how to build in ability to rotate from vert to horizontal so I can use
the same antenna on SSB, etc..  Maybe I'll just grab a multi-element 6m
quad and put it up, too.

73,
