I have been doing alot of hiking/backpacking and taking my new FT-817ND with me. I am having a BLAST with QRP portable!

Currently, I am thinking about picking up a Buddipole antenna system for my little adventures.

I already know they are compromise antennas and not as good as a permanent base mounted antenna.

So, for those of you who have/had one, I am interested in your opinions on this system. Good or bad.

Thanks!
