Perfect setting for the AX1 as there’s no good trees and since it’s also somewhat of a park -wires around and in the air are frowned on. Also with limited time a quick setup and tear down is important. My usual setup is a small lightweight tripod (light stand) that goes to 6 feet and elevated radials (3 13’). I have alligator clips on the end of the radials for easy attachment to anything like some grass or a shrub. ATU in the KX2 hardly ‘clicked’ for a match. In 45 minutes  I worked 22 stations (12 states),Japan and 4 ‘S2S’-summit to summit contacts on 20 and 15 M CW 5 watts. Best report was 599 from OK..almost pulled off an S2S with JH3PLL. Kept asking ‘N7??’ but we couldn’t quite pull it off. And everything except the tripod packs into a small LowePro bag. Summit W7O/WV-099 if you follow that. Thanks for a great product Wayne.
