By the way,
The improved stability of the BNC connector on the AX2 compared to the AX1 motivated me to “retire” my AX1.
My small (finger … and backpack friendly) loaded all-band antenna with the existing 60/40/30 m extender includes now
-
AX2-20 (for 60/40/30/20 m)
-
AX2-17 (for 17 m)
-
AX2-10/12 (for 10/12 m and (together with LC30m) 15 m)
-
2 guyed radial pairs of 2.5 m (for 17-10 m) and 3.1 m (for 60-20 m)
-
Tripod (for all seasons/earth surfaces …)
-
Selfie stick allowing a feed point height of approx. 0.85 m
Note: I noticed with my AX2’s (when new) that the hexagon nut on some examples was only tightened hand-tight and in one case it was even loose. The result of this: The antenna wobbles about like the AX1 or a little more …
