This resource provides comprehensive instructions for constructing a 2 element quad antenna specifically designed for the 10, 12, and 15 meter bands. The antenna features a diamond configuration, which offers improved gain compared to a square configuration. The author shares insights into the materials used, including a square-aluminum boom and bamboo poles, along with construction techniques that ensure durability and optimal performance. This project is ideal for amateur radio enthusiasts looking to create their own antennas at home. In addition to construction details, the author discusses the antenna's performance, noting its effectiveness even at a height of 8 meters. The quad antenna reportedly performs comparably to a 3 element yagi, with excellent SWR readings and strong signal reports from European stations. This project is suitable for beginners and offers a cost-effective solution for those interested in enhancing their amateur radio setup with a homemade antenna. -

During a club's "Filetto Day" event, a comparative field test was conducted between a **Buddipole** antenna and a homemade 20/40-meter wire dipole. The author, IW5EDI, performed this personal evaluation from a mountain top at 1500 meters above sea level, utilizing a Yaesu FT-857D transceiver to switch between antennas. The observations on the 20-meter band indicated that the wire dipole consistently delivered significantly stronger signals compared to the Buddipole. Additionally, the Buddipole exhibited higher levels of **QRM** during the listening tests. The commercial Buddipole, known for its multiband capability and compact size with a self-supporting tripod, was contrasted with the simpler, larger wire dipole, which required a fiberglass fish pole for support. This direct comparison highlights practical differences in performance and deployment between a popular portable commercial antenna and a basic wire antenna in a real-world operating environment. -
The Buddipole Deluxe, a portable HF/VHF antenna system, receives a practical assessment from IW5EDI after a month of field use. The author, constrained by antenna restrictions, highlights the system's crucial role in enabling portable operations, even managing sporadic digital activity from a balcony. Direct comparisons to a fixed 3-band dipole reveal surprisingly comparable signal reports on 15, 17, and 20 meters, underscoring the Buddipole's effectiveness in real-world scenarios. Tuning the Buddipole proves straightforward on bands down to 20 meters, though the review notes significant challenges with SWR on lower bands like 40 meters, where achieving better than 3:1 SWR was problematic. Observations also include SWR variations with dipole rotation and mast height, suggesting environmental factors play a role. The overall manufacturing quality of the antenna and its accessories, including the tripod and carry bag, is deemed good, despite a minor issue with a pole connector. Looking ahead, the author plans to construct a homemade Buddipole version, possibly optimized for the 30-meter band, specifically for PSK31 operations from an apartment. This personal project reflects a common amateur radio practice of adapting commercial designs for specific needs, further extending the utility of portable antenna concepts. -
