[TowerTalk] Hot Rodz for Hustler Base Antenna

[dxingman@bellsouth.net]

Anyone have any experience with the DX Engineering Hot Rodz top hat
extensions with the Hustler 6BTV vertical?  The Hot Rods were originally
designed for use with mobile antennas, but are useable with base units
as well (according to the advertising).

Dave, WX7G, use to have similar items available from Nantenna, LLC 
that you used with an RM-40(S) resonator on the Hustler 6BTV for 
operation on 80 meters.  Using the 40 meter resonator in conjunction with
the rods (instead of just the 80 meter resonator), improved the efficiency
and bandwidth on that band.

Anyone ventured there yet in attempting to improve the operation of the
Hustler on 80 meters?  If so, I'm interested in the size rods used, any
problems encountered, etc.

Thanks,  73   Phil / K4MPE
