I ran some comparison tests on 20M with the AX1 against my Buddi Stick
vertical when I first got it. I found the best performance was with the
AX1 on a table top tripod on a picnic table with 2 resonant radials. The
AX1 was about 1 S-unit down compared to the bigger antenna over a 22
mile ocean path. During these times of low critical frequency short
paths are dead and the lower radiation angle of the vertical is often
better than a low dipole/Inv-V.
I find the AX1 most convenient for quick deployments.
