Then again, you might have better performance than you expect. I don't have room on my roof for 80m radials, so I don't have any on my 6BTV. I put it up when I only had a KX1, so I didn't care. I got my K2 on the air shortly after the antenna, and started finding that 80m was sometimes useful when no other bands were. Performance isn't *great* by any means, but I worked VK9 with 5W last month! The Hustler antennas are compromise antennas. But they are better than no antenna ... a *lot* better. Very good value for money. 73 de chris K6DBG _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
