DX Engineering sells the Hustler 5BTV (40-10) and 6BTV (80-10) antennas. I have 
no experience with them, but do with the 14AVQ. Mine played extremely well in 
Miami whether it had radials or not. It played poorly everywhere else I have 
tried it.

Glad to see you haven’t disappeared completely. We miss you on the air! Hope 
things are going well.
