I think  you will find the Buddiepole Deluxe more flexible than the 
Outbacker.  You can set the BP up as a dipole or a vertical or with the 
rotating arms you can make a vee or an inverted delta.  The guys will be 
operating from J6 this week (they are traveling to St Lucia 
today-Sunday) and primarily use BPs.  They will be on the 10M contest 
with the relatively new 10 BP beam made from standard BP bits.

Download a copy of NE1RD's buddipole book and you will see all the 
different possibilities.
