About RBN and AX1, here are some results I got recently (KX2, 13'
counterpoise, 10 Watts).
(In the last column I added the distance from my station):
...
VE6JY VE2PID 14033 CW CQ [LoTW] 26 dB 18 wpm 2005z 24
May 3045 km
WE9V VE2PID 14032.9 CW CQ [LoTW] 33 dB
While these anecdotes and even the modeling results are interesting, they
provide only a measure of insight into the questions about any antennas
performance. Midway between them and using WSPRLite to compare two
antennas, in this case one with a counterpoise and one without, the Reverse
Beacon

horizontal polarization in their respective maximum directions, which
was stronger?
In the direction of the horizontal counterpoise, takeoff angle (max) is
60 degrees and vert polarization only, gain of -2,48 dBi.
At right angle
That is certainly true.
In your simulation, between the vertical polarization and the horizontal
polarization in their respective maximum directions, which was stronger?

Part of the charm of a short whip with a dragged counterpoise is that its
directivity from moment to moment is as mysterious as propagation itself. As
with good fiction, it's best to suspend disbelief. Just work 'em.

... Obtained by NEC simulation for the AX1 installed at 4 feet above
average ground: If you place yourself in front of the antenna and in the
direction of the 13' horizontal counterpoise, the signal received will
only be vertically polarized for all takeoff angles.
But if you test it in a

Not a record, but today I made my first DX/EU using the AX1. My setup

Pierre,
I love simple, brilliant solutions. Thanks for the idea.

BTW ...As an alternative to a tripod, I fixed the antenna support to a
picnic table using 2 common tablecloth clamps.
