![]() ![]() Placing "radials" as a counterpoise directly on the ground Adding a radiating wire to a Buddie Stick (keptĪbout 3 feet above the ground) in the desiredĭirection for the radiation pattern makes the Buddie A vertical (non-dipole) using Buddie Pole materialsĪnd 1 coil & no other radiating elements is a Some basic terminology needs to be clarified. I know this must sound completely juvenile, but hey! That's me. Do I use the red coil with the green #10 tap, one set of arms, and the whip extended to 4 1/2 sections? How long is the counterpoise? Where do I connect the arm and whip section and the counterpoise? Should I put the arm/whip section in the center Tee and the counterpoise on either the black or red position? I would love to know the prescribed way to create a simple vertical antenna for 20m using the Buddipole. Some websites say that this config may conflict with the pole, making the pole resonate with the antenna.Īnother diagram/photos I've seen show a single coil, arm, and whip set in the center Tee position with some length of wire attached (somewhere) as a counterpoise. I hate to admit that I'm still looking for a clear-cut diagram on how to achieve this.ĭifferent BP diagrams describe a dipole configuration with one coil, arm, and whip pointing straight up, and the other coil, arm, and whip section pointing straight down (assuming the VersaTee and adjustable arms on the new model, etc.). I've been reading some posts here about creating a vertical antenna with the BP, along with posts online, and what I could gather from the BP manual. I'm not an electrical engineer-this is pure hobby and fun for me (e.g., it takes me a while to understand all the talk about reactance, resistance, etc.) I've owned my Buddipole (BP) for a few months and have had a few successes so far. To preface, I am a new ham, slowly gaining experience with antennas, etc.
