Bill,  

What was the length of the radials?

I ran some comparison tests on 20M with the AX1 against my Buddi Stick 
vertical when I first got it. I found the best performance was with the 
AX1 on a table top tripod on a picnic table with 2 resonant radials. The 
AX1 was about 1 S-unit down compared to the bigger antenna over a 22 
mile ocean path. During these times of low critical frequency short 
paths are dead and the lower radiation angle of the vertical is often 
better than a low dipole/Inv-V.

I find the AX1 most convenient for quick deployments.
