Bret, I’ve just submitted a review of the AX1 to Practical Wireless magazine, which should appear be in the October issue, published end of September.
I found it worked well on the tripod. The key to getting the most out of it is to let the counterpoise wire fall to the ground about 3 ft or so from the radiator. As a very short base loaded antenna, I don’t think an extra foot or so of height will make a lot of difference. Your extra counterpoise wires is probably the best thing to do.
