Performance for me has nothing to do with SWR, but am I making QSOs. I do. With
the AX1 attached directly to the radio, KX2 and KX3, using the internal
matching unit ("tuner", which has little to do with tuning the antenna), I have
made 68 activations, 10-40 meters cw. From California, I have wo
Congratulations on your results with the AX1, but if you don't think
that the internal matching unit doesn't tune your antenna then you don't
understand how impedance transformations and transmission lines work.
Look at it this way. In a simple example, you could add a coil to a

terms of wavelengths.
My home 6BTV antenna OTOH has a 230 foot feedline. I did NOT want
to run a high SWR on that coax. So I installed an MFJ kilowatt

at the base of the antenna. Works pretty well, although I

not hit us. We should have less QSB and noise tomorrow.
Autumn began cool and wet. It has been foggy each morning but sunny
in the afternoon. Many shrubs and a few trees are changing color. Bear
