[Elecraft] [AX1] Who has the AX1 antenna DX record?

[Hank]

Pierre....Not too shabby!

I made a "DX" contact with a fellow in Ontario from a site in NW Georgia in the US.  It may not be my farthest, but it was another country :-)

This was a couple of weeks ago with the KX3 on 20 meters SSB , 15 watts (external battery), AX1 attached to radio and 13' counterpoise.

I was perched atop a rock wall overlooking a lake on one side (facing Canada).

Hoping to do some hiking this weekend and a SOTA summit (or two).  Just bought the BNC to binding post adapter to try my hand at 40 meters.

I love the AX1 setup - can't hardly wait for the 40 meter version!!!!!

Not a record, but today I made my first DX/EU using the AX1. My setup
was a KX2, CW, 10W and the 13' counterpoise. SM3GSK at 5630 km returned
me a 559.
BTW ...As an alternative to a tripod, I fixed the antenna support to a
picnic table using 2 common tablecloth clamps.
