I have a Hustler CG-144 (I think the model number is right) and have
been pretty pleased with the performance. They claim a gain of
5.7 or so. It is quite a big antenna (about 2m) but it gets out
quite well and happens to use the same mount threading as my old
CB antenna so I didn't have to pay extra for a mount. The whole
thing ran about $35 for the whole thing. My only complaint is that
I lost the top element on a 4WD trail in Utah so make sure the
set screws are tight before going off road.

I currently have a G5RV up about 20 feet in my backyard and while
it works fine for domestic work on 40 meters I would like to work
more DX there. I have heard that the Butternuts and GAP antennas have
low angles of radiation on 40 and 80 and so should be better for working
DX. What are my fellow ham's impressions of these antennas? With the
sunspots going south I could use all the help I can get for these low
bands! 73!

Dear Jeff,
I have a 5BTV which I'm very happy with- get to Europe on 40M
any time I like (don't do much on 80 so don't know). A friend has a GAP
and he has had trouble from the start - couldn't get it to tune and
about 6months later wound up thwith water in the coax (he doesn't know
if it's his fault or not yet).
