[Elecraft] Buddipole on 2m?

[Howard W. Ashcraft]

I am considering purchasing a buddipole from elecraft for portable hf
use. This weekend I need to set up a 2m base station to provide
communications for a local bicycle race.  The buddipole literature
indicates that it works from 2meters through hf.  Has anyone tried to
use the buddipole for 2 meter repeater work.  I'm assuming I will need
to orient the buddipole near vertically or otherwise to achieve vertical
polarization.  My real reason for wanting a buddipole is for travel with
my KX-1, or field use with the K2/100, but if it will solve the
immediate problem, it may get me moving to make the purchase!

Thanks,

Howard Ashcraft, W1WF
