One word of caution. After using it for months my child bride found the
impedence of her Butternut had changed after a hard rain and readjusted her tuner to compensate. A tad later she found a weak station she wanted to contact and turned on her amplifier. A few moments into the QSO the SWR went nuts and she fried a final. Dropping power she found that the tuner settings were again back to normal. We continued to use the 'nut for several weeks then sold it without the problem reoccuring. I can only guess that the capacitors on the 'nut had filled with rain, changing the antenna impedence, then dried out when a KW was applied. YMMV |
