Tom, KJ3D,

I have a Hustler 6BTV antenna, and it does not use
the "6 Spoke Spider" for 40M, like the 4BTV does.

Mine is ground mounted and works great, even with
no radials.  I use an LDG AT11-MP automatic antenna
tuner with it on all bands, 10M - 80M.
(Using my K2/100  :-)

Good Morning Group,

A question about the Hustler 6BTV (used for my K2 - so not completely off
topic).

When I replaced my old 4BTV with the 6BTV there was no mention of whether or
not to use the 6 spoke spider (yeah, should be insect) that sat beneath the
40 meter section.

Anybody doing this?  I _could_ just try it, but if someone already has...


Thanks, es 72
