What gets me is if this antenna performs so well on
UHF and the swr's are not too bad, then WHY doesn't
Hustler advertise it as a dual band antenna?

the perpendicular plane.
Radiation patterns from your Hustler also will be different for these
conditions -- which could explain why it is not marketed as a dual-band
antenna.
