I live in an apartment and use the Buddipole as my only
antenna.  I have all the parts necessary to make either
the standard dipoles or vertical.

All I can say is that it's fantastic. On 2 meters through
20 meters, it's a fantastic performer. On 30 and 40
meters, it isn't bad, considering how short it is.

Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but for those that have
the Yaesu FT-817ND with the 1400 mAh battery, what is the
"average" operating time (CW mostly) that you get from
that battery before you need a recharge?

Thanks

The Buddipole antennas are very good for what they are.   It is helpful to
have the mechanical parts to run them either as verticals or horizontals.
They are well thought out, and durable.  The workmanship is top notch.

They come in a variety of versions for traveling needs.

Hi,

I have and use the Buddipole over 2 years now and I'm extremely  
satisfied !!! It is like a big LEGO block that you can experiment  
antenna world.

Very robust and quality construction. The antenna is very effective.

Many QSOs, could be built in minute, light weight, small size, for a  
backpacker... a must !!!

I've also had my buddie pole for over 2 years.  My 1st 10 out of 11 contacts
with it were DX on ten meters.  All on 5 watts.  It's a really great, albeit
expensive, antenna.  The little clips are worn out but they sell
replacements for any worn part. I also use just one of the elements like a
whip or buddi stick on my car (stationary!) and it works just as well.  I've
used this antenna a lot!  Performance starts to drop on 40, but then I'm
qrp.  Sure it would be fine with more power.  Now though, I find that
nothing really beats 150' wire (or as long as possible) and my auto tuner on
30 meters to 160meters.  Still for sneaking a quick qso at work, it's nice
to stick one element in the cb mount on the car and work.  I use a swr
analyzer to find resonance.  Oh yeah, I couldn't imagine trying to use this
without an analyzer or you will be fiddling with it forever trying to get
the swr down.  Or you could just get it in the ball park and tune it.
Hope this helps.
