Many of the summits here require "compromise" antennas due to terrain, exposure etc. The Buddipole I have was not getting me the RST I wanted, so I built this one. It does a great job, especially on 40M where I was having issues. I have since replaced the Buddipole with the Buddistick. At some point I will fabricate one antenna that I can configure both ways. For now I am just going to use this one.
