I'm curious about your pedestrian mobile statement. What do you do with the 13 foot counterpoise, does it drag behind you when walking? I doubt that you can make a QSO without it. Also with the 13 foot counterpoise, what 20m frequency is the AX1 resonant on?

Or pedestrian mobile. So far I've seen nothing that is as compact,lightweight and easily packable as the AX1 or 2, and that's important to me when I'm hiking.
