[Elecraft] K1 and buddistick

[John Ragle]

I have used both the Buddistick and the Buddipole. The B'pole was used 
insidethe house at the ground level on 20 meter CW and PSK. It worked 
about as you would expect a low trap dipole to work...I made contacts 
with it until my "outside" situation improved. The high launching angle 
was evident. I would think that a simple wire half-wave dipole would 
work, hung e.g. from the diagonally opposite corners of a room. Another 
wire antenna to consider would be an off-center fed dipole. Both these 
wire dipoles are lots less expensive than the Buddi-duo.
