I Know it is a compromised design but it may be all I will have soon. We
are moving 400+ miles north from FL into the mountains of NC this weekend.
I'll be living in an upstairs condo so putting the AX-1 in a window may be
the best I can do. I don't think the ceiling is high enough for my Wolf
Then we shrank it by 70% (AX2 :)

A comparison to any other antenna would be useful. A comparison to a 50
ohm resistor with a similar counterpoise wire would be even more useful
as a baseline measurement. If anyone wants to lend me their AX1 I will
do that.

Wayne is quite proud of that antenna design for its intended purpose,
walking/biking portable. We chatted about it at Visalia when his design
was still on paper.

I have been happy with my AX-1. I have shared with the group before my
impressive contacts made with my KX3 and the whip. The second time out, I was
doing a SOTA activation of a hill really :-) - only 1200' elevation. With the
KX3 in my lap, AX1 whip connected via 90 degree fitting
I've been impressed by how well my little AX-1 whip antenna performs on 20
meters. Here's a photo of the rig: https://gruner.com/k4rhg/andover_ma.png
and the propagation map: https://gruner.com/k4rhg/wspr_2watts_sep16_2022.png
A friend, Derek Rowell (AK1WI), gave me a two-watt WSPR kit he had
I set mine up on a camera tripod on my patio and worked Japan on 17m FT8
with 2 watts on my KX3. It certainly does work.

Don’t forget, anything that you use as a vertical you can also use in a
horizontal configuration.

The AX-line, including the AX1, AX2, and various accessories, is intended to
make casual/ad-hoc operation so easy that everyone does it a lot more. It
worked on me :)
As noted in the instruction manuals, a longer and/or higher antenna is great if
you have the time and materials available to
