HI Chuck,

I was in North Florida this week-end and WELL,  I now know its something I am doing wrong and not the KX1.  I took the KX1 to a OPARC  meeting contest head quarters and asked one of the operators named Jim to check it out for me. He hooked into his antenna used for the contest and in less than five minutes had contact with some one in Indiana. The KX1 was  using new internal batteries and was measuring almost  0.7 watt output on 20 meters.

So where in the world do I start, I have tried changing the antenna direction , the height of the antenna, the size and length of the wire. Where else do I look for problems as to why I can not get out from my neighborhood.

any suggestion,  help would be appreciated.
