- Butternut HF2V 40/80 Meter Vertical -
I bought this antenna used, but in new condition. First time up 2006.07.03 for SWR adjustments. I return with the result. a.s.a.p. I got a copy of the manual from SM2EJE, Sigvard, this copy is in much better quality then the one on Bencher's web-site.

Antenna adjustments ready, nice SWR readings. Waiting for move to final location in my garden, at the moment i'm using 40pcs of 11meter long ground wires. (DL1000)
