[Elecraft] Re: Buddipole vs. tuner and wire

[David Douglass]

If you are more interested in DX, go for the Buddistick? I replaced the whip on mine with a 12foot MFJ telescopic whip and added an extra pole under the coil, this meant I could bypass the coil on all bands 20m and up. It worked well with a good counterpoise/radial system.

All the Buddipole stuff is very good quality, but not cheap, and as mentioned you can get a 10m telescopic fiberglass pole for a fraction of the price, and make something around this which would out perform a buddipole.
