You can have it for the $75 I paid. I see them on EBay for four times that and new from DX engineering for $839.00. There are some plastic insulators that you will probably want to replace. DX engineering now owns butternut and all the parts are there. “Work 9 popular bands; 80 thru 6 meters with a single, highly efficient vertical radiator only 26 ft. tall! The HF9v is designed with large diameter tubing for the coils that enhances overall performance, The bandwidth is very narrow on 80 meters which is to be expected given the 26 ft tall radiator. I did work JA's on 80 meters from the east coast which for a simple vertical is quite a good QSO’” says a review. You will need radials for the best performance.
