Hey Bob,
In reply to your request for opinions, I vote for the butternut. I
have a hf6v and have used it at three locations. Ground mounting it
over a lot a radials has worked the best. I have four radials cut
for each band and a ground rod to bleed off the static charge when
the wind blows. It does require couple of sacks of concrete in a deep
hole to keep in being blown over. I once had a trapped vertical that
was half a tall, but did not work as well..I do not have the 160
meter resonator, but it is available. .
73,

I am deed restricted and have a wire or two up at home. I'm debating
ground mounting a single vertical. Available to me are Force 12, Cushcraft,
Butternut, Hy-Gain, Hustlerand maybe more.At the moment, 40, 20 and maybe 80 or
160 CW are my main interest.Any ideas or opinions of yours are welcome.
Thanks, Bob N9GG ex-WN3K GO FRC!!
