[TowerTalk] Hygain 18-HT 160m Trap wanted

[Jack Brindle]

I recently tried to by a HyGain antenna from MFJ. It was listed oil stock, but I got tired of waiting after a week. I then bought it from DX Engineering at a lower cost. MFJ’s shipping charges are exorbitant. When the antenna arrived with a missing piece, calling MFJ produced nothing - they didn’t answer the phone. The DXEngineering folks fixed that quickly. Great customer service.

Tim has a first-rate company with super people.

I do hope someone picks up the HyGain and Cushcraft lines. They deserve good treatment along with some updating.

73,
Jack, W6FB
