Default Challenger DX opinions?

I like the Hustler BTV line of verticals. Had my 5-BTV up over 2 years now
and it works a treat. Whichever vertical you settle on invest some time into
a ground radial system if it is to be a ground mounted antenna.

Wow! funny you should mention that! I lost mine in the same storm
front here in PA. The antenna got whipped around so much that the
fiberglass/dowel joint pulled through the drill holes, then finally broke
the tubing, and down it came. I had some more tubing of the right size, so
the fix wasn't too hard



Has anyone used the Gap Challenger, compared to other verticals, and
could give an opinion?



I haven't used one, but a Ham I know has - and liked the Butternut a
lot more. He's pretty knowlegeable IMO, but that's just one data point.
