Pierre....Not too shabby! I made a "DX" contact with a fellow in Ontario from a site in NW Georgia in the US. It may not be my farthest, but it was another country :-)
This was a couple of weeks ago with the KX3 on 20 meters SSB , 15 watts (external battery), AX1 attached to radio and 13' counterpoise. I was perched atop a rock wall overlooking a lake on one side (facing Canada). Hoping to do some hiking this weekend and a SOTA summit (or two). Just bought the BNC to binding post adapter to try my hand at 40 meters. I love the AX1 setup - can't hardly wait for the 40 meter version!!!!!

Not a record, but today I made my first DX/EU using the AX1. My setup was a KX2, CW, 10W and the 13' counterpoise. SM3GSK at 5630 km returned me a 559. BTW ...As an alternative to a tripod, I fixed the antenna support to a picnic table using 2 common tablecloth clamps.
