Actually we agree that a counterpoise is necessary for the antenna to function. What I¡¯m mystified by is why anyone would attempt to operate it without the counterpoise. The AX1 is shipped with a counterpoise and the instructions clearly state that it¡¯s necessary for proper use. And in fact if possible I use more than one and elevate them. This is true for all short verticals.?

Dan, we are going to have to have a talk about the AH1.? It is way overpriced for what it is.? You can build a far better antenna similar to the AH1 for $10.
