[Elecraft] Portable antennae for the KX3

Bill,

For my SOTA activations I carry this little gem:

https://www.packtenna.com/store/p1/PackTenna_Mini_Random_Wire_Antenna_%289%3A1_UNUN%29.html#/

It fits easily in my "Shack in a Bag."  I use a short length of coax 
with it.

I also, as Walter suggested, always carry *two* BNC binding posts (then 
tend to get misplaced) and a home-made doublet tuned to 40m made from RC 
power cord.  This seems to get out a bit better than the Packtenna but 
takes a little longer to deploy.

Another country hear from. HTH
