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.
That's why I don't have one.
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.

Well, you get what you pay for is about all I can say there. The Buddipole is
so well thought out and constructed you don't have to replace half of it
with upgrades as soon as you buy it, like some of the cheaper alternatives I
looked at.
