[Elecraft] New KX3 up & running.

The first rule of antennas is "put up the biggest thing you possibly 
can, and if it stays up, it was too small."

The Buddipole is SMALL.

The other reason, it seems to me that you're paying a premium for a 
nicely packaged units.

I have a 33 foot collapsible kite pole off of eBay, some heavy velcro 
straps from a big box home improvement store, and some wire.

The Buddipole may be a good buy, especially for those who don't want to 
put a kit together, but I think the "best money you'll ever spend" is a 
little bit over the top.
