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.
