[Elecraft] Buddistick or Buddipole?

[Fred (FL)]

I've been considering the Buddi antenna, for a while
now.  It seems to be built well.

One thing I've not been able to establish - is how
much HF bandwidth does the antenna exhibit - once one
sets the clips on those 2 coils, and gets resonance? 
I just wonder if a constant readjusting is necessary
with this antenna, when we move up and down the
HF bands?   20M CW  then 20M SSB .......

In other words - if antenna was all set up outside,
would a HF user be required to continually adjust
either the clips or the whips - when an operator 
goes from SSB to CW portions of the band, etc.?

I tried some years back, to make a "dipole" out of
Hustler mobile elements, with some adjustable whips
- but never was able to get it to resonate very
reliably.   Those were in my no-tuner IC-730 days.

Those are my questions regarding the Buddi line
of dipoles and verticals, with coils and clips.

Very seriously considering one.
