We drilled a 1/2" hole in ther center of the horizontal portion of the angle and four smaller holes in the corners of the same surface. We could have simply gone to the nearest CB shop and purchased a mirror mount for a CB antenna but we had the raw material and he had the skills to make the project work. Since I was visiting my son Steve, KC1AJC at the time, he perused the "junkpile" in the corner of his workshop and began to fashion a suitable antenna mount from a scrap of heavy angle aluminum. I decided to do things a bit differently. According to the instructions from Buddipole this was to be used when erecting a vertical antenna using the components of the Buddipole system. This Blog is mainly dedicated to Amateur Radio (Ham radio) and contains external articles and personal esperiences.This little project came together after I purchased a Buddipole HF Antenna System and noticed that the "Versa-Tee" in the system had an extra mounting hole on the top surface.
BUDDI POLE CODE

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.
BUDDI POLE FREE
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.
BUDDI POLE PORTABLE
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.
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.
