Portable Operation with the Elecraft KX3 and Buddipole

Operating on 20M on a sunny winters day - I set the buddipole up as a 20M vertical using 4 x 22" arms and a 9.5' whip with 4 elevated radials about 17' long - the vertical is about 8ft agl with the radials sloping to 2ft or so. SFI was 115 with an A index of 6 - the band was noisy at times but some nice signals - running about 10w or so from the KX3.

KX3 looks an amazing bit of kit - reflected in the price tag !

Cool, I'll hafta try to set my buddipole like that, it's been sitting in the carrying case for a long time. 73 KI4TTZ

Can't help thinking these would be really good back home, but here, it can be a bit of a challenge, let's say... ;-) 73 Rob

QRP and CW, that is the way to go.

I noticed that there is no coil of any kind in this setup. Does that help in making the antenna so broadband? What role do the elevated radials play? I’m interested in maximizing my Buddipole for shortwave listening. Anyone have some good suggestions? Thanks for a great video. MikeinMinnesota N0WDM

Do you have the optional roofing filters in the KX3, and if so do they make much of a difference in your operation?

[@McPilot_W3DDS]

are you attempting to make a contact off frequency? 14190?
