Yes, with 4 radials each at 20-40-80. I will let you know how it works I will

well I make a point of never saying never about such things but I
agree it is very unlikely

indeed he has to do or say something that in fact firghtens or
disturbs me and that I don't feel I can handle

the mouses are going on about a threat made by posting someone else
address and phone who shares my name but isn't along with a week worth
of threats at me impling that poster palned to crucify me, given the
existance ofdanger however slight to someone I felt I had the incident

Mounting (ground mount with 3 radials on 20-40-80M) the antenna was easy. Tuning
is was a bitch. I missed the portion of the directions on tuning the antenna,
because it was poorly placed. Almost hidden-like. Anyway, I tuned it backwards
80M and down. I got it pretty close. Then the next day, I tuned it 10M and up.
All was fine except for 20M, which was about 2.0 across the band. So I called up
Hustler-Newtronics, and the tech immediately sent me a 20M calibration sheet.
Worked like a charm. I have all the bands well under 2, and 80M is 1.2 at the
center General frequency, and I get about 80Khz bandwidth before my SWR goes to
3.0. That is excellent for 80M.

Also, for the price of $170, the construction is rock solid. If I were to build
my own antenna like this, it just wouldn't come out as good.

Steve, one other thing. You asked about ground mount. Seems that ground mount is
fine for the lower freq like 20-40-80. But I compared it to my Imax on 10M, and
the Imax blew it away for local. Of course, the Imax is about 36 feet off the
ground.

Thanks, does it listen and talk too?

Vinnie's antenna -was- KC8LDO is blameless

Steve, one other thing. You asked about ground mount. Seems that ground
mount is fine for the lower freq like 20-40-80. But I compared it to my
Imax on 10M, and the Imax blew it away for local. Of course, the Imax is
about 36 feet off the ground.

I've seen quite a few of those ground mounted deals over the years so they
must work ok down there. That's a neat antenna.

Cool, are you going to ground mount that hustler or elevate it?
Radials? I've always been curious as to how well those things work
when they are so close to the ground.

Hey Enzo, did you get it all hooked up yet?

Mounting (ground mount with 3 radials on 20-40-80M) the antenna was easy.
Tuning is was a bitch. I missed the portion of the directions on tuning
the antenna, because it was poorly placed. Almost hidden-like. Anyway, I
tuned it backwards 80M and down. I got it pretty close. Then the next
day, I tuned it 10M and up. All was fine except for 20M, which was about
2.0 across the band. So I called up Hustler-Newtronics, and the tech
immediately sent me a 20M calibration sheet. Worked like a charm. I have
all the bands well under 2, and 80M is 1.2 at the center General
frequency, and I get about 80Khz bandwidth before my SWR goes to 3.0.
That is excellent for 80M.

Also, for the price of $170, the construction is rock solid. If I were to
build my own antenna like this, it just wouldn't come out as good.

No problem on 40 and 80. I made one 20M contact. I haven't tried it that much on
20, because I only go the SWR down yesterday. Based on construction and
hardware, I don't think you can beat this. Similar verticals are $500-600. And
as far as the people on this site that advocate building your own, I don't think
you can do it for that same price, and with that quality. I know I can't,
because I don't have a collection of metal machining tools. I can send you the
instructions, in case you want to buy one. Theyrecommend 3 mounts:

1. Best - elevated mount on a roof ot tower with radials

2. Good - ground mount with radials

3. Least desireable - ground mount without radilas

Now, one thing I forgot to mention. I have 3 radials, they say use at least 2,
but more the merrier. I mounted it in a swamp, so the soil is always wet. I
think there is good conductivity, and that is helping the counterpoise.
