[TowerTalk] 6BTV vs HF2Vvsr DX Engineering 10-80 vertical, or Force 12 flagpole

[Ken Nicely]

I have the old hy-gain version of the 6BTV and I have an HF6V.  I often
operate in diversity receive with the Hy-Gain in one ear and the HF6V in the
other.  The HF6V always hears better than the Hy-Gain, but only marginally.
 I also feel the HF6V gets out better than the Hy-Gain.

On another note, I recently compared a home brew 43 foot vertical with a 4:1
balun against the HF6V and the HF6V was far superior in all respects.

I know these antennas are not an exact representation of what you are
looking at, but they are very similar, so I thought it might be helpful.
