Yes, they are an amazing antenna. I have worked Budd, W3FF many times on 40m while he has been bicycle mobile running one. This is one reason why I like 40m: it is a band where you can put out a very big signal without too much of an antenna; since the losses in a coil are nothing compared to what they are on 75m!

@KBSIXHOH --
Steve,
Thanks for your comments. I am really enjoying using the Buddistick and am continually amazed at the performance of such a small, portable antenna.
BTW: I have a series on building the Powerpole Distribution Box. You can search my video channel for it.

John, FB on the Video. A couple of weeks ago during a Hot spell here in the San Francisco North Bay I took my 703 and Buddipole and setup as a VersaTee Verticle just West of the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito. Didnot setup on the Beach but at a Picnic Table less than 100feet away from it. Worked Colorado and Kansas on 20m late afternoon. Love that setup. I too would like to see the home brew Power Distribution Box as well. 73 de Steve KB6HOH

Nice video! What and where did you get that bag? Looks like it says "Remington" on it. Is it a bag for those hunting field cameras? Looks like it would fit my 703 perfect. Thanks 73

@BrokenCRJ
You are correct, the bag has the Remington logo on it. I got it at Wal Mart during hunting season.
Hope this helps.

Cool video, thanks John for another cool video promoting Ham Radio! I love my Buddie pole also. I could have built one, but I have to tell ya when my wife bought me mine I was very happy not to have had to try to build one myself. I'd a done it, but glad I did not:) This kit from Bud is amazing! I use mine at hotels, Ham fests, camping etc. With my IC7000 wow is all I can say. It is Number 1 GI !!!! 73 Jimmy, ARRL TC, WX9DX
