[Elecraft] AX1 dipole

[David Gilbert]

One year for Field Day, K7ZB and I were hanging several wire antennas 
from the tall Ponderosa Pine trees along a forest service trail on the 
Mogollon Rim in central Arizona.  A car drove by and a woman got out to 
ask us if we were setting snares for bears.  She was serious.

73,
Dave   AB7E
