K1 ANTENNA

[Chuck Pridgen]

HOW MANY OF YOU ARE USING PAR ELECTRONICS END FEDS WITH YOU K1 OR OTHER ELECRAFTS.

I WOULD LIKE INPUT ON HOW THEY HAVE WORKED FOR YOU, AND HOW YOU HAVE MOUNTED THEM.

I AM INTERESTED IN USING THEM AT THE BEACH THIS SUMMER.

THANKS, CHUCK N4UED

Chuck and All,

The Par End Feds work fine with a K-1, but you need to get one end up in the
air as much as possible.  You might be better off with one of the portable
vertical systems at the beach.

I have several antennas that I have tried with my KX-1.  If you have the space to get it into the air, you can't beat the Par End Fed 1/2-wave dipole.  It is easy to tune and gets surprising results.

You do have to get one end into the air.  A tree or light-pole works fine.  On one occasion I had it feeding out my hotel room window.

Good luck and 73,

John, WA6L
