[Elecraft] AX1 Loaded Whip Antenna - Elevation and

[Grant Youngman]

Yes, of course.  I know how things work. And I agree with Don’s comment that came in in another email while I was typing. That does NOT mean the vertical element is the “counterpoise" to a long elevated wire (or more than one) a few feet off the ground.  Yes those wires may radiate, but probably not where you want them to, unless you want to talk straight up.

Like I’ve argued, if you want a wire to radiate, put in in the air.  And if you do that, there’s no point in having the AX1 in the system.  That’s all.

Over and out, SK :-)
