| ATS-4a in use in VA at portable location |

| KI6J Matcher with #22 teflon 1/2 wave for 20M |
 |
| KI6J Matcher 'hooked up' on 20M |
Put both the ATS-4a and the KI6J matcher on a field test at the portable location in VA. The half wave wire was indoors on the 2nd floor and contact was made with an F8 with a 579 report! The LED worked on the matcher to tune the antenna and several US contacts were also made. The power supply was a 4.5 AH Gel Cell. The headphones were Skull Candy ear buds and the Vibroplex Code Warrior Jr. works without the plastic paddles too.

That EFM looks like a dandy. What is your source of that nifty teflon wire? It looks nigh upon tangle-proof!

The teflon wire is just old stock mil-spec from a hamfest. If you are going new I would try 'Flexweave' from http://www.thewireman.com/.
