Hi Lane, Butternut was bought out by Bencher some 2-3 years ago. Based on a
survey here about 6 months ago, it appeared that Butternut is still rated
highly. Hope that helps. Regards, Steve Davis, K1PEK, DAVIS RF Co.

<< Just curious but I remember buying a new Butternut HF6V vertical in 1984
from the Wickliffe, Ohio AES store. Was wondering whatever happened to the
original owners/founders of the company down in Texas? That antenna served
me well for many years up until I left for the Navy. I guess it has been
reported that it is not all that efficient on 80 meters but I sure remember
it working well on that band.
