Setup and Demo of the BuddiStick Antenna

[@notthepainter]

Thanks for the setup. I've seen another NanoVNA where they shortened the antenna to get good SWR. I guess with the Buddistick you must shorten or lengthen the radial? I think I've seen that in another video.

Great video. Thanks. I look forward to the buddipole review. I just got one but haven't taken it out in the field yet.

Coming soon!

Hello, one question, did you make those digital contacts at night? 40 mts

[@ND3N]

I believe I did, if I was on 40M, then probably shortly after twilight

What was the deciding factor for choosing the Buddistick rather than the Buddipole antenna. Was it the price difference?

[@ND3N]

Hey Matt - Good to see you here. I needed a portable antenna for Field Day and I wanted a BuddiPole (I've had one in the past that I used a lot and enjoyed), and If I had another month or so to save up, I would have gone for the BP instead of the BS... The BuddiPole is a better antenna, doesn't require a radial wire. It is a little more difficult to set-up. I do plan on getting another one (BP) in the future, but not too soon, and I'll be sure to do a back to back comparison video... 73 de Tom, ND3N
