Ax1 fun

Brought my KX3 on a day hike in Donner Pass (California) today, and fired
it up on a small peak (George R. Stewart Peak) with the AX1 whip and its
counterpoise.

Within 10 minutes, got QSOs over ssb with the state of New York, Florida
and... Bonaire. Pretty cool on a short whip, 10 watts and a bit of luck!

Great job, Elecraft :-)
