For our FD efforts, I used a Bobtail for 20CW. We had another antenna, a Double Extended Zepp, and I wasn't too pleased with it. It seems as though sigs were louder on the Bobtail than on the DEZ...

(www.bencher.com), it looks like the HF9-V will operate on 160 with an optional kit. This antenna is again, a phenomenal performer! Just lay the radials down, and it performs like a champ. Hope this
