[Elecraft] AX1 antenna
Hello, Last night I made a qso with my KX3 (15w ssb) and your AX1 MULTI-BAND WHIP ANTENNA. I made a contact from the fields near Geneva (Switzerland) and ZY40ZT (8500km). What a nice great "small antenna". I could not belive it, but I was. Thanks a lot for those really nice products you make!!! (maybe world record!) 73 qro from Switzerland.

[Elecraft] AX1 Antenna Suction Cup Window Mount
I picked up an 8-pack of these suction cup window candle holders from Amazon for $7.99 https://www.amazon.com/Holiday-Joy-Strongest-Christmas-Celebration/dp/B01G6ED64K/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_201_t_0?_encoding=UTF8=1=8QNVHSVD55PT9X9D610K Three fit on the base tube of the AX1 antenna, clamp it tightly without crushing, and hold the antenna to the outside of a hotel window with the Elecraft tripod base and coax attached, as well as two counterpoise tossed left and right. Good to operate with KX2/3 or WSPRlite as I’m doing now. This particular hotel has windows with metal trim and the antenna touches the trim to muck up TX. Next trip I’ll have some silicone rubber tubing to insulate such contact. Uber-light with AX1, 3 suction cups, tripod mount and 2 counterpoise, 10ft RG174 coax with Mix31 ferrite bead, WSPRlite, USB cable and wall wart to AC mains. Fits in a baggie in a sneaker in my luggage. See me on 20m WSPR at 200mW in FN20 through 8/22/19 in the AM if you can...

[Elecraft] AX1 antenna - indoor performance initial results
Hello everyone in Elecraft land! I just wanted to share my initial results with the AX1 with my KX3 and I am happy to report contacts on 20 meters at 2 watts on the AX1 from indoors, the antenna just sitting on the table here in the shack! The contacts were on wspr mode and I was getting out, but I have yet to decode anything. But I know the little AX1 can be heard so I am confident reception would be there if the environment was a little quieter! I have rfi/qrm noise issues in the shack here so reception is always a challenge. Just wanted to share that, this little antenna is very cool. 73's Mike AB7RU / Spokane, WA __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
