[Elecraft] HF Antennas for KX3 Hand-Held/Hiking/Portable?

[Don Sanders]

I haven't tried this with the MFJ whips. I used to have a 20 meter ham
stick and by removing the metal whip the antenna resonated near 11 meters.
By installing separate metal whips for 17 and 15 I had a 3 band whip
antenna. So someone with a MFJ wjip may want to try this idea.
