Hope yall enjoyed estes park. I live up there. Maybe yall will come back. Let me know ill show ya a good time. Funny im looking to invest in some buddipole gear and ran across this video. Well cheers!
I just bought this 6 meter kid to add to my Buddipole and the first time I set it up an awesome 1.5 SWR before I even got the change to adjust it. I extended the telescopic whips and worked on 10 meters with a tuner and made contacts all over Europe yesterday. Excellent idea, excellent antenna. My next goal is try it with a 3 element.
@@FFdo. yes I did Fernando. I used a simple diagram of a 10 meter 3 element antena and matched the length of the driver, reflector and director element. I wouldn’t recommend on a windy day as the elements aren’t super strong at that lengths. Works like a charm as long there is an opening on 10 meters.
I just finished building the 2 element 10 meter yagi at 20 feet, Kenwood TS2000 internal antenna tuner brought a Flat SWR in 1 second of tuning. First QSO was California 5x9. I can't wait to use all of the configurations next year while travelling up and down the East Coast. K3NXH

Do you remember the lengths you used for the driven and reflector elements?
Nice antenna and very beautiful landscape. 73 from Dolomiti
Nice Video showing the versatility of the Buddipole.

I agree with other ops, let's try to get something going for 10 meters.
Great video of a great product. Thanks K3NXH
