AX-1 Clone

Yes, similar whip but monoband - not really a clone.

Executive summary:
KX2, MFJ 1830T 30m 1.4m-long whip (with homemade mounting bracket), 7m counterpoise wire. 2 minutes (no rushing) rucksack-to-QRV time. Pile-up on 30m. RST given/received not obviously different from usual inv-L EFHW or Cha MPAS Lite vertical.
Conclusion: great for cold-winter deployment (get summit qualified but don’t expect super dx)
