I’m willing to bet it disassembles into smaller pieces; it’s not how they ship… 73 de Dave, W5SV On Jul 26, 2024, at 09:27, Ronnie via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote:  On second thought, I have no way to get something 26’ long to my house.   From: BVARC <bvarc-boun...@bvarc.org> On Behalf Of Ronnie via BVARC Sent: Friday, July 26, 2024 6:58 AM To: 'BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB' <bvarc@bvarc.org> Cc: n6...@att.net Subject: Re: [BVARC] "Work 6 popular bands; 80 thru 6 meters with a single, highly efficient vertical radiator only   I’ll take it, John.   From: BVARC <bvarc-boun...@bvarc.org> On Behalf Of Richard Bonica via BVARC Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2024 8:37 PM To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <bvarc@bvarc.org> Cc: Richard Bonica <kg5...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [BVARC] "Work 6 popular bands; 80 thru 6 meters with a single, highly efficient vertical radiator only   I will take it..   On Thu, Jul 25, 2024, 6:44 PM John Parmalee via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote: I have a Butternut HF6V six band vertical antenna I purchased for $75 and have never used and do not want to take it with me as I move.  You can have it for the $75 I paid. I see them on EBay for four times that and new from DX engineering for $839.00.   There are some plastic insulators that you will probably want to replace.  DX engineering now owns butternut and all the parts are there.    “Work 9 popular bands; 80 thru 6 meters with a single, highly efficient vertical radiator only 26 ft. tall! The HF9v is designed with large diameter tubing for the coils that enhances overall performance, The bandwidth is very narrow on 80 meters which is to be expected given the 26 ft tall radiator. I did work JA's on 80 meters from the east coast which for a simple vertical is quite a good QSO’” says a review. You will need radials for the best performance.
