9M2TPT Buddystick
I remember back that 9M2TPT lend me his buddystick 2 years ago.
It was a loaded vertical antenna made by Budd W3FF.
It has a telescopic steel element, coil and also teflon coated wire to use as counterpoise.
I should setup the antenna like 2 meters long loaded radiator with quarter wave counterpoise.
I tried but I didnt make any contact with that setup. So I changed the radiator element with the counterpoise wire. I measured the wire to a half wave and I use the telescopic element as adjustable counterpoise. Coil needed for certain frequencies.
Made few contacts with that setup. As additional information, I erect the radiator element vertically and hang it to a tree.
