Hi All,

I have a Hustler 5BTV that finally bit the dust after 25 years. I had
my
house painted last year, and the painter's ladder got into an argument
with the
antenna a few times, and just about destroyed it. I'm looking for
something that
will do at least 80 thru 10--WARC bands would be nice, and if there is one
that
also covers 160, that would even be nicer. What do you recommend.

Personally - if you like it and it worked well - I would just rebuild it !

Of course -- it does not work 160 meters and 80 meter has a limited
bandwidth.

It's still made ... gets high marks for a vertical requiring radials.

You may want to look at the HyGain AV-18HT (HyTower) vertical
(not cheap - but great vertical)
