I use one of the following antennas:

1. A home brew Carolina Windom for 40 up 35-40 feet.
2. An interlaced 40/20 meter delta loop, apex up, base ~6 feet over ground, and fed at a corner
3. An 18' vertical with 2 9' radials fed at the vertical base which is ~15' feet above ground.

My shack is too messy to be photographed at this time.

My Field Day operation is entirely different. I participate with a team of others who also own KX3s, except one. our antennas consist of beams and 1/2 rhombics. The towers are AB-577 portables.These are not for the average home shack.

73,
Barry

Richard,

The KX3 is best used when not even in a shack and so that means lots of /P

You will find best antenna is one that is resonant and if you can get it
right by the ocean you will be fine but you can also use alternatives
with the internal tuner, we3dp, dipole, long wire, end fed wire, end fed
half wave....

All Elecraft station also - K3/P3/KPA500/KAT500 normally on the desk - KX3 for portable use and during power outages or (heaven forbid) if the K3 develops a problem (only once in 3 years and it was MY fault).  Antennas at the home QTH are a Cushcraft A3S tri-bander at 35 feet, nondescript homebrew fan dipole at 35 feet for 40, 30 and 17 meters, ground mounted Butternut HF2V with loading coil for 160/80/40 (KAT500 tunes it on everything including 6 meters) and a quarter wave inverted L sloping upward from 30 to 50 feet on 160 meters.

Portable antennas consist of a PAR EndFedZ 40-20-10 wire, a homebrew take-apart vertical that breaks down to mostly 1 foot sections (MFJ 6' telescopic whip is a bit longer) and uses a buddi-pole coil and a 21 foot non-resonant vertical that's collapsible but still too long for convenient portable carry.  I use it mostly at hamfests when demonstrating the K3 and KX3.  

Station pix at www.qrz.com - (look up W0EB) and scroll down the page for the latest shack pix.
