I received my new AXE1 yesterday, and today deployed the antenna with the AX1, connected directly to my KX2 a la HT. I stretched out the counterpoise wire and tied the end to the branch of a bush, suspending it about 4 feet above ground. The antenna is somewhat noisier than my NVIS dipole, but sitting on my deck at my Sea Ranch QTH I was able to check into the Jefferson Noon SSB Net 7204KHz with 10 watts, getting a good signal report. Much better performance than I expected!
