W3FF ANTENNAS - Buddipole

W3-BP-DELUXE Buddipole Deluxe Kit W3-BP-DELUXE Buddipole Deluxe Kit
* Frequency 40 to 2m * Power rating 250W (PEP) * Buddipole Deluxe Kit supplied complete with W3-BM, W3-BST, W3-BPT, W3-STW, W3-RAK, Coils, Coax 6m (20ft) with PL-259 adaptor, Dipole centre, Telescopic aerials, Coil clips and W3-DKB carry bag.

NOTE: photo does not show telescopic pole or tripod which are included in this Deluxe package.

The Buddipole is a shortened dipole; shortened by the means of high 'Q' loading coils. These are beautifully made and account for the very high efficiency of the system. They are positioned roughly half-way along each element, a compromise between efficiency and impedance matching. A purpose designed balun is used to feed the system via the supplied 8m of 50 Ohm coax cable, and the whole assembly plugs into the centre feed T-piece. This is a quick and positive arrangement. The T-piece acts as the centre-feed point and via the 1/2in thread in its base, a means of attaching it to the telescopic mast.

Each of the two dipole legs comprises three distinct parts. The inner section is an alloy element measuring 55cm, then a coil 12cm long (42mm diam) and a telescopic whip 33cm collapsed and 165cm extended. This gives a total dipole length of about 4.64 metres when fully extended for 40m operation. The whole kit packs down into a protective carry bag.

Note that photo shows the complete Buddipole with the optional add-ons.

The Buddipole is a shortened dipole, shortened by means of high 'Q' loading coils. A purposed made balun is used to feed the system via the supplied 8m of 50 Ohm coax cable. The whole assembly plugs into the centre fed T-piece. The T-piece acts as the centre-feed point via the 1/2in thread in its base, a means of attaching it to the optional telescopic mast. If you want to keep the price down, you can purchase an optional adaptor that allows the dipole to be placed on top of a decorator's pole. Each of the two dipole legs comprise of three distinct parts. The inner section is an alloy element measuring 55cm, then a coil 12cm long (42mm diam) and a telescopic whip, 33cm collapsed and 165cm extended. This gives a dipole length of about 4.64m when fully extended for 40m operation. The whole kit packs down into a plastic protective container measuring 68cm long and 10cm diameter. Total packed weight is 1.6kg.

W3-MBP Mini Buddipole W3-MBP Mini Buddipole
* 8-bands 40m - 2m * Overall length of antenna 4.89m (16ft) * 4x alloy dipole arms 27.94cm (11in) * 1 x Dipole centre with 1/2in thread * 2 x High ‘Q’ matched loading coils * Adjustable finger-tight coil taps * 2 x 168cm telescopic end sections * 3.81m (12.5ft) 50 Ohm coax with balun * BNC plug & PL-259 adaptor * Padded cordura antenna bag * Full instructions

The Mini-Buddipole is essentially the same as the standard Buddipole except it is more compact. The two arms have been replaced by 4 smaller arms 28cm (11in) each, thus enabling the whole antenna to be packed away into a compact package that only measures 36cm (14in) in length. There are optional extras available that may be purchased if no alternatives are to hand - such as the optional tripod support and telescopic mast.

The Buddipole is a shortened dipole, shortened by means of high ‘Q’ loading coils. These are positioned roughly halfway along each element. The rest of the dipole is made up of telescopic whip elements. A purpose designed balun is used to feed the stystem via the supplied 3.8m 50 Ohm coax. Tuning the antenna is very easy, first select the band to be used, position the shorting loops along the loading coils, and extend the telescopic whip elements to the recommended length for that band and adjust for resonance.
