[Elecraft] Alpha Antenna/KX3.

[Kevin, N4TT]

I have had great luck with the simplest of end-fed antennas and the KX3.
Particularly out at the picnic table I can just find a convenient tree to
toss up one end with the other end at the table. Seems a longer coax make
the end-fed work better. I'm using one cut for 40 with a stub(?) for 20
meters. Both bands at least are partially tune in bypass with the internal
ATU taking care of anything questionable.

How it compares with a loop I don't know. I have had much more luck with
the end-fed than I've had with a buddipole. I've had more luck with a good
dipole than the end-fed...
