I looked at the buddipole and similar types, but quickly rejected the notion ... It looked to me like you need to rebuild the antenna every time you change bands with those gadgets.... And that just wouldn't work for me. I use a random wire with counterpoise with my KX1 and KX3 .... And rather than using trees for support, which can be a real PITA, I use a telescoping painters pole purchased at Lowes, support it with a speaker stand purchased from a music store (musiciansfriend.com), and guy it with rope.... It gets up to around 22 feet..

I have the MFJ telescopic with the taps you plug into for the different but there must be something better out there. What have others used that they have been pleased with performance of? I have checked the reviews of others and most seem to be not much better than what I have, the Perth among them. 73, Fred/N0AZZ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
