[Elecraft] AXE1

[Bryan Brauer]

I received my new AXE1 yesterday, and today deployed the antenna with the
AX1, connected directly to my KX2 a la HT.  I stretched out the
counterpoise wire and tied the end to the branch of a bush, suspending it
about 4 feet above ground.  The antenna is somewhat noisier than my NVIS
dipole, but sitting on my deck at my Sea Ranch QTH I was able to check into
the Jefferson Noon SSB Net 7204KHz  with 10 watts, getting a good signal
report.  Much better performance than I expected!
