Many thanks to Jonathan (KM4CFT) who shares the following note:
We are pleased to announce the release of some new products: a 100 watt version of the popular KM4CFT End Fed Kit as well as a Leg Strap, which is perfect for those who have the KM4CFT paddles, Bamakey TP-III or ModernMorse Paddles (or any small magnetic paddle).

Is there a recommended type of wire to be used with these kits? I saw no mention in the manual about gauge, size, insulation type, visibility for POTA, etc.
Hi David,
I prefer to use 26 gauge polystealth wire with my antennas, but there isn’t a firm requirement on these. You can get away with much thinner wire even when running 100 watts on an antenna.
What I don’t recommend is the silicone wire since it likes to stretch which can be annoying but it would still work.
Thanks Jonathan, goes double for the 5W version I bought a year ago & never built it yet. Its good to have a QRP & a QRO to go bag. David – KU9L
