[Elecraft] AX1 dipole

[Rich WC3T]

I deployed an end fed on a Shakespeare Wonder Pole at a cabin on Lake George one year.  The landlord came by and said “what are you fishing for?”    “Electrons,” I replied.  It turns out that he had always been interested in amateur radio and we sat and ragchewed for an hour as I showed him my portable setup with my KX3 and PX3.  I think I “reeled in” another ham to the hobby that day.  :)
