Antennas

One possibility I have is to erect a BuddyPole or similar multi-band /P antenna in the garden when needed. This cannot be as effective as a larger antenna, but would give me multi-band capability. I imagine on 10m, 12m and 15m they could be quite effective.

Certainly on FT8, they should work. This might solve my antenna erection issues. I could put it out when required and put it away when not needed.

If you have any views, please let me know.

Roger, you should try and get your X-80 up even if it’s on a tripod ?

But if your looking at a more efficient antenna that could be temporary solution, mind it will need constructing is the DX commander.
It will give you plenty of bands being a telescopic pole it will be easy to set up once made and ground mounted.

Buddiepole are very expensive!

I once bought a superantenna MP-1. Works very well for temporary setup. Has a variable coil so you can work several bands. Sounds incredible but I once worked China & Japan with QRP on 10m on this antenna. It was on SSB and not the digimodes you use these days. 73, Bas
