Greetings
A "Buddipole Portable Dipole Antenna" is currently been auctioned here. 
What are these antenna like. I will be working on an island for 5 
months mid 2007 and am looking at what sort of gear to take with me. 
Personal language space is very limited.
This is one great Potable HF / VHF Dipole Antenna.
Covers 80, 40, 20, 15, 10 and 2 Meters.
Can be set up in many different configerations with the Jointed knuckle 
that comes with the whole set-up.
Flat top...Vee....Sloper etc etc
Can be used with any Brand of Radio up to 300 watts output !!.
Can be assembled in only a matter of minutes and packs away into a 2 
foot Carry Bag
The pole extends to 10 feet from the ground but could be mounted to any 
height if one wanted to.
So what say you folks are these good.....or just look good?
