AX-1

[Thaire Bryant-3]

I received my new AX-1 yesterday at noon at the post office in New Hampshire.  By 1:30 (1700 UTC) I had it set up on a 4’ tripod on the deck, the counterpoise attached to the KX3 and with 10 watts worked LZ and HA on 20 M CW!

Wayne, thank you!  This will be my new SOTA antenna.

Thanks for the report, Thaire.

As we recommend in the AX1 owners manual, it’s a good idea to also bring along wire for a tree-based antenna for times when conditions are very poor, and/or you have more time to set up.

Have fun!
