I cannot make any contacts with the KX1. I have a gap vert. Challenger and an inverted VEE up 30 feet 103 feet long. Now Yesterday I was at a museum and took the KX1 with me and hooked up to a hustler vert. mounted on top of bldg and had no problem making contacts around 7030. In 2005 only made one contact on cw with a station in Mich here at home. I live in Glen Burnie, MD south of Baltimore and north of Annapolis. I thought if I could make a sked with someone on reflector I would at least know if I was getting out.
Thought today I might try my luck by putting the KX1 in the van and with a mobile antenna see if I could make any contacts. Same luck with the K1 with the Gap and VEE.
