[Elecraft] AXE1 extender?

Yes. As an excuse to get out of the lab and enjoy the great WX, we've been hiking all over the place testing the prototypes on both 40 and 30 meters.  

The AXE1 is quite rugged. It's exactly the same length as the other two parts of the AX1 whip. All three easily fit into our smallest KX2 bag (the CS40) along with the supplied ground radials, a KXPD2 keyer paddle, earbud-mic, logbook, etc.

We hope to have the AXE1 available in late summer.
