I took my KX1 and Cabelas pole outside in the valley at work today and used two 24ft wires to make a dipole, with thw 2 wires running up to the center. It tuned up ok on 20m but was dead. 30m I ran it as a Marconi, and it got some county hunter net and another OM whose call I could not copy. There was a bad match on 40m, and just one signal. I think I need to find a comfortable operating position out of the valley, perhaps back in the EmComm truck, once they get the tower motor repaired.
