[TowerTalk] Butternut HF-5B Butterfly Beam

[Gene Smith]

Anybody have any experience with the Butternut
HF-5B Butterfly beam?  This is a small five
band beam on a six foot boom and two 12 foot
elements and sells for $300.

I really don't want to compare it with an A3S
or any other beam.  I would like suggestions
as to how this small beam would compare against
a vertical.  Basically I'm either going to put
a vertical on the top of my house or the Butterfly
beam.
