![]() Some buddipole antenna related links can be found here, including a modified version that use wires instead of whips. All the antenna bag, once full, is not heavy at all.Īs backup antenna and for excercise I will try to build a home made buddipole antenna, with pvc tubes, maybe a dedicated version for 30 meters band, for my PSK31 nights from the apartment. The Bag is usefull to carry on everything including the tripod, thta is the biggest thing inside. I’ve just experienced a problem with a pole connector, since the very first day, I will keep in touch with Bud to have some info. Manufacture of the antenna is good, also accessories, are well done. I’ve noticed also that SWR change with the rotation of the dipole, and with the height of the mast. I know that on lower bands is recommended very free space, and some particular procedurres, but really have not had much time to investigate yet on this. In 40 meters in example, I’ve never been able to go lower than 3:1 swr. Tuning this antenna is very easy in all bands till 20 meters, for lower bands, gain and tuning is really problematic. Well, about gain, you cannot ask much to a portable antenna, what I can tell you is that signal reports received compared to the dipole, 7 meters above the ground, were really comparable in 15-17-20 meters. (except few sporadic digital activities from home, using this antenna on the balcony). Since my current antenna restrictions does not permit me to have a real antenna on the roof, the portable operations are my current only way to be active on ham radio bands. I’ve been able to compare this antenna to my old 3 bands dipole antenna.įirst of all, one of the main reason I’ve bought this antenna is the “portability”, even if I’ve choosen the deluxe edition that includes the tripod. ![]() Please see our Accessories page for clamps,coaxial cable, and other accessories for the Buddistick PRO™.ĭesigned, Manufactured, and Assembled in the USA.Here you are a recent picture of one of my laster Buddipole experiences ! Well, I’ve played with this antenna one month, and overall impressions, is really positive. Other optional accessories include an adjustable clamp which allows for a full range of motion and permits the user to operate the Buddistick™ from a picnic table or a condo railing, for example. On the bottom of the Versahub™ is a threaded insert (1/4" x 20 threads) to attach a camera monopod, tripod, or vertical antenna clamp.Īccessories for the Buddistick PRO™ include lightweight, multi-section shock cord legs which attach in seconds and collapse to fit into the portfolio carrying bag. ![]() The coaxial connector is a BNC connector. The Versahub™ is manufactured from a custom injection mold and utilizes a fiberglass-reinforced nylon material designed for durability and strength. The radial wire is pre-marked with color-coded indicators for each band, and is intended to be used elevated from 2' - 6' above ground. The 31' wire radial is put up on a line winder and is intended for use on all bands 6m - 40m. ![]() The Buddistick PRO™ comes packaged in a compartmentalized 1000 denier Cordura™ portfolio bag and includes Versahub™ feed point, 2 aluminum arms, one standard telescopic whip, one adjustable coil, 3 coil clips, elevated radial system, as well as operating manual. ![]() Designed as a multi-band, portable antenna for 40m - 6m, the Buddistick PRO™ is an excellent performer with any transceiver up to 250 watts. ![]()
