What kind of dipoles are being used out there (store purchased only,
please)?

Buther Boy

Do you frequently talk skip with them?


There are no famous store bought dipoles. You can get them on ebay. But, I left
you a post on how to build one. You will not get any better performance from a
store bought dipole than a homemade. And you can easily talk skip with them. You
would get the same peformance from a homemade dipole as you would if you
purchase a A-99 and laid it horizontally.

I get the homemade concept, but am disabled and not interested in
trying to build one! I see through your links that the Workman BS-1
is one store bought option. Anyone have any experience with this one?
I know that Workman is a low-cost option.

Thanks.

There is no experience. They will all work the same, if you cut them to the
lowest SWR. They will work like a homeone. The difference is you don't have to
assemble. You said you are handicapped. Can you hang and trim the antenna? If
so, that will be the hard part. Building it easy.
