W1/HA-010 Evaluating my AX1

Thank you chasers for another successful activation. I made 13 QSO’s on 15 Meters with 4 DX. I also worked one station on 20 and I had an opportunity to evaluate my Elecraft AX1.

As always, thanks for being there!

Hi Fred,

Thanks for the review video. I’m tempted by an AX-1, simply for ease of deployment. It’s great that you pioneers will lead the way.

Sometimes when I bring my AX-1/KX2 combo, I question "Why do I bring all this extra stuff? Mast EFHW etc, it just works, certainly enough to get the 4 contacts in

Thanks Andy, the antenna seems to work great but I should probably bring a couple of extra radials when above tree line.
Merry Christmas,
Fred

A.J., Thanks for the feedback. Although the AX1 probably won’t take the place on my Trail Friendly it is going to be very useful on snow covered summits. It goes without saying that sometimes it’s near impossible to get a pole up and a wire pulled out.
Thanks again,
Fred

Exactly, it’s saved activations for me when there is a cramped summit, no room for mast or no good trees for wire!
