From the Jupiter Tequesta Repeater Group is a great guide for putting up a Buddipole as a vertical dipole
Mark has some very useful tips:
– Use 1-gallon plastic jugs filled with water to keep the tripod stable
– Put a coil balun comprised of 13-turns of coax, approximately 9” in diameter right below the VersaTee
– Use the “down” leg of the vertical for tuning the antenna
Thanks Mark!
