I agree with the other posters. I had one that worked fairly well
ground mounted, but only with radials for the bands I was using. No
radials for that band meant no performance on that band.

Hustler says the 6BTV will work OK without radials as long as the
ground is not dry. The salesman said so also. So I bought it.

I was delayed in installing it because of a nesting Red Shouldered
Hawk that I refuse to disturb.

Meanwhile, I am reading articles online that indicate that the 6BTV
might work very poorly without radials even with a low VSWR.

I will have a nasty time installing radials where I want to put it.

Anyone have any experience in that regard?

Thanks, Ron
