I am considering purchasing a buddipole from elecraft for portable hf use. This weekend I need to set up a 2m base station to provide communications for a local bicycle race. The buddipole literature indicates that it works from 2meters through hf. Has anyone tried to use the buddipole for 2 meter repeater work. I'm assuming I will need to orient the buddipole near vertically or otherwise to achieve vertical polarization. My real reason for wanting a buddipole is for travel with my KX-1, or field use with the K2/100, but if it will solve the immediate problem, it may get me moving to make the purchase!
