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.
Buddipole antenna portable#
In 40 meters in example, I’ve never been able to go lower than 3:1 swr. The Buddipole is a professionally constructed portable antenna for 40 to 2m which has found a huge popularity worldwide. The Buddipole antenna extends up to 16 feet in length and often attracts new Hams as it offers a low-price threshold and promises a quick sneak peek into what DXing may be like. Tuning this antenna is very easy in all bands till 20 meters, for lower bands, gain and tuning is really problematic. A Buddipole antenna is a dipole antenna that works on various bands ranging from 40m in the HF to 2m in the VHF. 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. 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.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. We've been manufacturing our own unique product line since 2001. The coaxial connector is a BNC connector.

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.
