Manufacture of the antenna is good, also accessories, are well done.
I’ve noticed also that SWR change with the rotation of the dipole, and with the height of the mast. I know that on lower bands is recommended very free space, and some particular procedurres, but really have not had much time to investigate yet on this. In 40 meters in example, I’ve never been able to go lower than 3:1 swr. Tuning this antenna is very easy in all bands till 20 meters, for lower bands, gain and tuning is really problematic.
#BUDDIPOLE BALUN PORTABLE#
Well, about gain, you cannot ask much to a portable antenna, what I can tell you is that signal reports received compared to the dipole, 7 meters above the ground, were really comparable in 15-17-20 meters. (except few sporadic digital activities from home, using this antenna on the balcony). Since my current antenna restrictions does not permit me to have a real antenna on the roof, the portable operations are my current only way to be active on ham radio bands. I’ve been able to compare this antenna to my old 3 bands dipole antenna.įirst of all, one of the main reason I’ve bought this antenna is the “portability”, even if I’ve choosen the deluxe edition that includes the tripod. Here you are a recent picture of one of my laster Buddipole experiences ! Well, I’ve played with this antenna one month, and overall impressions, is really positive.
