Buddipole

I received a new toy today; a Buddipole! My first impression is that it is very well made and a lot of thought went into designing it. I want to take it camping, mostly, and use it for field day this year (also camping). It’s too cold to take outside and play with yet, but I set it up in my living room and was impressed with how easy it was to tune. I easily achieved 2:1 SWR or better on 17M, 20M, and 40M. So much for those occasional bad reviews complaining that it’s hard to tune! If it works in my living room surrounded by electronics and metal I can’t wait to see what it does out in the open.
