Fwd: Question about Buddipole vertical

[JEAN-FRANCOIS MENARD-3]

I have been the Buddipole since over 2 years now, and I very  
satisfied. The quality of construction and the RF results are  
excellent for a portable antenna. I have the deluxe package. Budd  
W3FF always delevery mature and finished products. I'm in contact  
with him very often. I will receive in a few weeks another parts that  
will permit to build a 2 elements yagi on 6M with the Buddipole package.

I did a lot of DX contacts, even using QRP power !!!

If you ever need or want quality and you want to buy only once, this  
is THE antenna.

Look at my website for many pics about different configuration with  
this antenna... even on 80M !!

Jean: I agree with your assessment on the Buddipole.   Only gripe I have
is with the "coil contacts".  Easy to loose and at $4.+ each to replace,
has caused me to focus on "behaviour modification". I should be working
on that anyway.
Carry on

Bill, I leave the coil contact always there, on each color marker. I  
bought a second of "coil contact" set to fully cover all color  
markers and I put a few drops of glue on each... so they can't loose  
anymore...

At 12$ a set, don,t loose them too often !!! ;-)
