AX1 antenna

Received my AX1 yesterday, so small but a gorgeous piece of engineering !!
Put it to the test this morning.......I had just made a Q on 20m with Keith, KR7RK doing a SOTA activation from IL with my KX3 @ 80w, I’m in FL.

I set up my K1 and new AX1 antenna with a table top tripod inside my screened in porch.
Keith was still calling CQ SOTA, I called and he returned my call. The K1 was set at 7 watts, the antenna tuned up 1.1 swr.

I was amazed, it really worked !! Thanks for another great piece of Elecraft gear Wayne and Eric, you guys have another winner here !!

What’s next ??

Re: AX1 antenna

Yes, keep the wallet ready as there will be more to buy. After nearly 20 years owning Elecraft, not to mention, Wayne's other "stuff", never ever think there won't be more. 😊
