The antennas here consist of a Butternut HF-6V vertical for 80-40-30-20-15-10 meter operation and a LIGHTNING BOLT 5 band, 2 element Quad mounted on a 48 foot HDBX series freestanding tower. Some wire antennas will be installed soon for better performance on 160 thru 30 meters.

I've used the Butternut HF-6V on and off since 1986.
It is currently ground mounted with a good radial system. It has never
worked better. For more info on the great Butternut Vertical, Click HERE

The Lightnigbolt Quad was installed on 8-13-05 and covers
20-17-15-12-10 meters with 7db gain, very broadbanded, fairly light, small
turning radius, and 'improved' Quad construction.

Thanks for the help! The new tower and quad antenna was a big project and a big investment for me. There were a lot of choices and decisions. For more info on the the project, Click HERE
