Unless you're camped on a salt water beach, use that pole to support an
inverted vee (which can be part of the guy system).

Thanks to all that responded. The general consensus is that using the
buddistick, pac-12 or some other version of coil and shorter vertical is
not as effective as simply getting up as high as possible with a
vertical wire antenna and radial/counterpoise. Other than the tree,
most have suggested a
ection which is day-glow green.

Yes. This is a winner! Tape a wire to it, and run some radials to
act as a counterpoise. I have a zip-lock bag filled with lengths of
#22 for exactly this purpose. Works great!

Out here I often operate in the desert, with no trees at all for
antennas or shade! I use a 32 foot telescoping fiberglass pole
(sometimes 2) from The Mast Company to get wire in the air nice and
high, either as horizontal doublets, vees, or slopers.

Hi Ron
Well, as you imply, it's no surprise. Size does matter, and as has often
been said, you cannot defeat the laws of physics! Which, as a teacher of
the subject gives me some pleasure!

I camp with my KX-1 (and the family!) in Europe every summer. I have tried
the buddipole, buddistick and the MP-1, but there is one antenna I've tried
which surpasses them all, in my experience and opinion.
I have a DK9SQ 10 metre long 'fishing pole'. I connect a 12m or so length
of wire t
I have a camping trip planned and will likely be in a few places where
there are no trees where I will easily get a vertical wire up. What
does everyone else do when the surroundings are not ideal for a wire in
a tree? I have seen other antennas referenced such as the buddystick
and the PAC-12.
