No you weren't, I just sold my Deluxe Buddipole. The name was embroidered on the canvas bag it fit into, and all the documentation said "Buddipole." It's a great field antenna. I sold mine after several years of good use because of weight ... I've gotten attracted to Summits on the Air [SOTA], I'm a little mobility challenged from injuries in my 20's [The "Bulletproof and Immortal Period" in my life], and I really needed to reduce the weight of my pack. It's a great antenna, lots of possible configurations, really fun to experiment with. I was sad as I shipped it off to Jon. If you have one, go register at the Yahoo Buddipole Group. You will enjoy the antenna[s], there's way more than one antenna with a buddipole. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2012 Cal QSO Party 6-7 Oct 2012 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
