Many Ham Radio portable operators
Many Ham Radio portable operators owning the Elecraft KX2 transceiver also have a super-compact AX1 portable antenna. It is a base-loaded short telescoping whip with just some 115cm of antenna body in the air. Lots of hams use it in a walkie-talkie style mounted directly to the BNC connector on the radio. Sometimes, operators don’t even use a single radial supplied with the kit. It’s a big mistake! In this video, I make a small experiment with two different mounting styles of the AX1: a “ walkie -talkie” style with one radial vs bike-mounted style with 3 radials on the ground. The Reverse Beacon Network reports surprised me!
