I’ve had fairly good results with the Budwig. The key is not to use the feed
wires to support the antenna. Loop it through the holes and then double back
to solder to the feed wire or better yet, double it back on itself and clamping
with split bolts and then loop back to solder to the feed wires. Do not put
any load, especially vertical load, on the feed wires.
