Most people see "hustler" and dismiss it as crap but I have a feeling most, if not all people responding have never even seen a Hustler Spirit series antenna. In comparing them to the "Stationmaster" type antennas I'd say they're constructed equally well. It's a good stout commercial grade antenna that will perform just as well as the beloved Stationmaster. I don't agree that exposed dipoles are problematic but if you're looking for a fiberglass stick the hustler is a good choice.

Our club just lost our UHF antenna. The last straw was a wind storm. The make of the antenna that was up there is unknown. A stationmaster would be nice, but we cant afford it. A Decibel Products DB series - I hear are maintenance nightmares. We are looking at A hustler HS9-43050 - Any comments on the hustler antennas. Or other suggestions? 73 Steve N1TEC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the all-new Yahoo!
