Had a blast operating /PM with my K1 during last night's Spartan Sprint!
I fastened my 20-ft black-widow fishing pole vertical to a pack frame. The K1
was hanging on my chest in a small camera bag, putting the front panel in
clear view. Tuned up just fine with the internal tuner using a trailing
counterpoise.
I hiked around Spruce Cape on Kodiak Island. Sending CW is a bit of a
challenge while walking but good practice for head-copy.
Worked stations all over the "Lower-48" including K4THL in Florida. That's
4,050 miles great circle route. Not bad for 5W pedestrian mobile.
Tnx/72,
John Pfeifer - KL0WN
Kodiak, Alaska
