Howdy William...

I use the AXE with the KH1 for 40m with the 32ft counterpoise from the
AXE kit. I am able to get a good enough match to operate on 40m and have
made POTA contacts with that setup.

When I move to the higher bands, I just leave the long counterpoise
connected. The KH1 doesn't mind and matches the higher bands fine.

I have not kept notes on my matched SWR readings, but I should. I'm
usually wanting to get the activation moving and get it done. Maybe I
should just take the little rig out in the front yard and play a little. ;)
