Settings For BuddiPole Vertical and Long Whips

I have been experimenting with the new longer whips for my Buddipole Antenna. My Dad recently got a new Buddipole Antenna and purchased it with only the long whips. So yesterday evening, my Dad and I got the MFJ antenna analyzer out and decided to find the settings for a vertical using the longer whips. Below is what we came up with. We did 10-40 meter except for 12 meters which you can use the 10 meter settings with a tuner if you needed 12 meters.

*Note that these settings were found with 50' of coax and the Versatee at about 6' off the ground.

    In the notes you say "both arms" what do you mean?

    My guess is that he means using both of the 22-inch arms but there are also 32-inch arms so not 100% sure on this. Also need to know where the coil is placed.

    Good data to have once we know this.

    Thanks

    We have proven it does not matter where the coil is ... it is far easier to put it on top of the VersaTee for adjustment.
    Have fun every day
