[Elecraft] AX1 Loaded Whip Antenna - Elevation and

[MaverickNH]

I brought along a NanoVNA this trip and used it to array the two counterpoise
attached to my AX1 antenna - adjustments of counterpoise brought SWR down
from 9+ to <2. SNRs in the low ‘teens with a 200mW WSPRlite vs upper 20s -
*inside* a hotel room with sealed windows.

As Wayne said, the AX1 is particular wrt configuration. When it’s good, it’s
very, very good, but when it’s bad, it’s terrible. The NanoVNA is pretty
cheap/light kit to add if you’re not bringing an ATU-enabled rig.
