Cant wait to hear more, now that my K3 dead. Been looking at K4 and flex 6600m and 6700 for a long time.

Does KJ7U still make mobile antennas?

I love my Elecraft radios, but ill take a Flex 6600m before the K4

I totally agree. Its very expensive and better then my current 80m antenna that not at the ideal height above ground. Ive been reading good feed back from other forums. But still on the fence about this. @sp5it ive reevaluated and need a better antenna system before a new HF rig

Ive abandoned the idea of making a Mag Loop Antenna. While working in Kuwait someone pointed me towards the Ciro MIDI Mag Loop Antenna. I know its very expensive, but thats why im working abroad. What are your thought on this MLA? Tkx Ben

Im very seriously thinking about purchasing a FlexRadio 6600M when i return from Kuwait. Have seen any post about them here on this forum. What do yall think? This will be my primary rig if/when purchased. Tkx Ben

Im currently here in Kuwait, didnt bring along any equipment :(

Center fed dipole fed with Ladder line to 4:1 and use autotuner on radio

What are some precautions i can take, so my equipment does NOT get confiscated? I plan to carry on my MacBookPro 13", CPAP machine and masks, KX3, KXPA100, and PowerWerx supply.

never seen those before, but i know messi uses coax ends that are reusable

I plan to travel internationally with my KX3, KXPA100, power supply and associated bits. Does anyone have any advice/suggestions for traveling with said items? Plan to be working in Kuwait for couple months, would love to carry my amateur radio equipment with me. Tkx Ben

What about Messi? Anyone else have experience with it? This is the only post i could fine with "Messi"

So DXE 400 for V/Uhf? What about the HF antennas? Hexbeam HF verticals.
