The results are now in; and the QSLs on my desk verify the results. Using my IC 7000 and the Buddipole during my free time of an hour or two whenever possible during the 3 months that I was in Rabat, I worked around 3000 contacts on 40M CW alone. One CQ would normally net me a good size pileup that would still be there when I had to QRT. All-in-all, I worked over 100 DX countries and over 40 US states. I attribute this success to the Buddipole and, of course, the 10 dB gain that the CN2 callsign gave me!" – Ron, W3PV.

I ordered and received a Commercial BuddiPole antenna last week. If you are interested in camping, hiking or just generally like operating in the great outdoors or live in motel rooms quite often, then you should check out www.buddipole.com This is a really nice antenna. Check it out, if you are like me...basically a skeptic, then you are in for a surprise. I have been playing around with it and my K2 all weekend and it works really well. Surprised the daylights outa me! Standard disclaimer applies, no financial interest, yadda, yadda, yadda." – Mike, KC8WR
