[Elecraft] Who has the AX1 antenna DX record?

[John Sager]

 I worked France and Germany during the recent ARRL CW contest from Utah.  What makes it even better is I was indoors at my kitchen table using my KX3 running 10 watts with the counterpoise wire on the kitchen floor.  I have also worked Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean and all over the US on 20 meters on CW from the same location because I was too lazy to set up an outdoor antenna during very cold Utah winter weather.  My first contact after receiving the antenna and attaching it to my radio was XE2X in Mexico (CW from my kitchen table running 5 watts).  Even my wife, who isn't a ham, was impressed ;-)  The AX1 has been the perfect complement to my KX3 and KX2 for casual quick deployment.

 So far Washington State from Georgia on 20 m running 10 watts from a picnic table near the top of a dam on a POTA activation. I had the AX1 connected directly to the KX3 with the bipod and was using the supplied counterpoise.
