[SMCARA] Buddipole Buddistick

[Daniel Metcalf]

Chris,

I have the Buddipole Deluxe system and I enjoy it! A couple
recommendations 1st is to get the longer mast with the guy kit and 2nd
get an antenna analyzer. The company is good about providing
instructions as to how to set it up for each band but I have found that
utilizing an analyzer to optimize it for lowest SWR helps.
