[Elecraft] Buddipole vs. tuner and wire

[Robert Tellefsen]

Hi Brian
It really depends on what you can find for
antenna supports.  A wire dipole cut to frequency
and up in the air higher than you are likely to
raise a Buddipole will do more for you.  The
Buddipole makes a nice fallback antenna, but
I'd try for an elevated wire antenna where possible.
