Excellent video Chris! You were the reason that made me decide to buy a Buddipole. I'm very happy with the portable setup specially the video where you show how to setup a 2 element beam for 6 meters. I made a 2 element beam out of Buddipole accessories. Excelllent results! Thanks Buddipole!
Thanks for the tutorial! Seems to be a very good antenna! I ordered the buddipole just a few minutes ago. I will use it with my FT 817ND. Will let you know abt my experiences! vy 73 de DG1MJH
I think the buddipole vertical seems to be really nice it looks like it works really well I'm still stuck between Alpha and chameleons but I think the buddipole separates from both companies the way your system is seems to be realistic
I am a proud Buddipole owner, homebrewed and commercial--but your four pounds of equipment thing--the 817 alone is nearly five, right? Anyway, I wish I had that setup. I run the IC7000 at present. I'll be checking its effectiveness with the mini-buddipole.
Hello Steve, Im hoping you know what the model/brand of that key is? Or is it a homebrew? Id really like to read-up on it more & possibly purchase one. It looks quality made, from the very brief view of it... Thanks for any help you can provide. BTW, big fan of your radio vids & your goat buds! 73, Josh N8TIP
My guess is the top one, since the lower element was already fully extended. If both elements are fully extended already, you might have to adjust the coil taps instead.
Only a tool would say something negative about a historically positive hobby & public service! BTW, if it matters, the inventor is named Budd, so the name of his creation seems quite fitting.
Thanks for not only showing how to set up the Mini Buddipole, but also how to make adjustments for resonance. This helps a newbie like me.
I was hoping to see battery setup and QSO contacts made on saltwater groundplane.Nice video,thanks much!..73..W7KB.

This is an awesome video. Great detail, will be buying.
Chris, thanks so much for the SWR tutorial. I now know how to use my FT-817ND rig to get better SWR. Cheers!
Excellent demo of the Buddie Pole
Eu garanto que não se vai arrepender...Eu possúo uma e usa-a quase todos os fins de semana em pequenas expedições e tenho tido resultados magníficos.
Great job in explaining the Buddipole system. Very useful demonstration and professionally well done. 73 AI4QT

Boa antena. Muito portátil e ótima para operações QRP. Pretendo comprar uma.
The top driven element
Are you using the 817 due to battery power??
What kind of PTT are you holding at the end of the video?
It's not a PPT switch but portable mini-CW paddle ...Chris was using to key the rig to read his SWR

What freqência for this operating with this configuration?
NIce going to have to get a rotating arm kits
can this antenna setup work on 2M/70cm? i apologize in advance for my inexperience... ;)
Which leg did you lengthen?
My guess is the top one, since the lower element was already fully extended. If both elements are fully extended already, you might have to adjust the coil taps instead.
Penile island?
Only hams would call an antenna fu**ing buddy pole...
