[Elecraft] [KX3] Incredible 6 meter opening right now -- Western U.S.

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Two tuners.......wow, lucky to have any RF into the antenna.

My K3S and its internal ATU will tune the 160M inverted V{256 ft} with 
balanced  feedline quite easily.  The SWR on the 18" of coax between the 
1:1 current balun and the radio is 1.75:1.    The drawback to the 160M 
antenna.......it is very difficult to rotate.  The antenna works quite 
well on 160M - 6M.  However nothing to compare with my 4 element 6M yagi.
