I typically use a long wire with my K1, but I still switch it out sometimes for my first antenna -- a Buddistick vertical.
I'd just gotten licensed and wanted to get on the air quickly, as well as having something very portable, and the Buddistick (I bought the deluxe package) has worked well for me. I feel like it's well-constructed, assembles and breaks down easily, and the carry bag it comes with is of great quality. I've done pretty well with it on some trips so far, and the base clamp has proven to be pretty versatile. I've clamped the antenna onto the side of a rock, on the trunk of a small tree, on the side of my car, and of course on things like benches, railings and the like. I've never tried the full on Buddipole dipole system, but I'd like to someday. 73, Mark / KB3OKS Ken Kirkley/NO4D wrote: > > Any > recommendations.maybe even for a vertical? > -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Portable-Antennae-tp15764570p15880298.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
