 dallas...
you need to provide advertising copy for butternut !! ;-)
most of us remember the Gotham vertical ads in QST, right?
Jeff..congrats on 6m dxcc...need to pick your brain on 6m tips..
my hf mini V beam fed with a long piece of rg8x is pretty marginal on 6m here, so far...

 Mark,

I don’t have a 6 meter antenna either but I tuned myself butternut vertical (using an MFJ tuner) several weeks ago and made my first 6m QSO to Argentina.  So I have one country on 6 (FT8.)  I did it after someone posted here about 6 being open that day. Later that day I tuned  it to 160 and made a couple contacts there too.
