Not trying to start a disagreement here, but I don’t see the point.
If you want to run a wire antenna, then, good gracious, run a wire antenna. They work pretty well portable. I carry two in my bag. But I fail to see the rationale of using the AX1 as a “counterpoise”.
For quick low profile portable, the AX1 works as well as you can expect a very short loaded radiator to work. For that purpose it’s easy, quick on the air, and does fine.
