Wayne,
My KX1 field day experience was similar to yours.
Using an external R/C car rechargeable "9.6 Volt" battery pack for extended
power reserve and a simple antenna up in the tress I had no trouble working
many stations from New York to Hawaii and north to Alaska.
What a blast! Thanks for a great rig design....

<I snuck in about an hour of FD operation late tonight, setting up camp <in
the back yard. The KX1 is perfect for this type of ad-hoc
<installation -- just toss a wire in a tree and plug in the attached
<keyer paddle. Signals were quite good...
