[Elecraft] Alpha Antenna/KX3.

[Ian Kahn, NV4C]

Gene,

I've had a lot of fun on vacations with my KX2 and a BuddiStick by 
BuddiPole:

http://www.buddipole.com/

The price, for the Deluxe kit, is probably comparable to what you'd pay 
for an AlexLoop. I just clamp mine to the arm of the chair, the table, 
whatever, with the included clamp, string out the included radial, and 
have fun. It tunes great with the combination of tapped loading coil and 
the built-in tuner on my KX2. I also have the tripod BuddiPole sells, 
but don't like it as much as the clamp. It's a very small tripod, and 
the way the antenna and mount plate are designed, it is very easy to get 
heavy to one side and tip the antenna over.

Hope this helps.

73 de,

Ian, NV4C

Like some, I have HOA restrictions in my first and second home and this somewhat limits me as to what I can put up. I have space on my back deck as well as a terrace in my condo.
