Two days ago I ordered a Hustler 5BTV Ham Radio antenna, which means I’m one step closer to being back on the air! (Betcha can’t tell I’m excited lol) The antenna is scheduled to be delivered today, COD! No, I didn’t ask for 2 day shipping, it was shipped ground from Denver. Ham Radio Outlet is the only place is the only place that I know of that will ship COD.

This is the first HF antenna I’ve purchased new, and only the 2nd new amateur radio antenna. (The 1st was a dual band mobile from Larson).

Do any of the hams on board have any experience with this antenna or one like it? Did you put out radials? I cheated a bit and downloaded the installation instructions and radials & RF chokes are talked about. What did you use for the choke form?
