It's a steal! That's a Butternut antenna!

For a quarter, eh? You can't beat that price, ha!
I'll be curious to see how well that vertical performs once you get it installed.

This is a Butternut 80 - 10 m multiband vertical model HF6V. The insulated wire running down the side is for 15 meters.
Radials do NOT have to be resonant if they are on the ground. I have one of these in my backyard right now. A good antenna. Use the manual to adjust the coils for each band

Butternut, most likely an HF6V. Good find, they are very good antennas if you have room for radials.
There;s no reason now why you can't get on the air properly, Jonathan.
With your luck you should take a ticket in ther national lottery!

Well, I have a fan dipole up now, and made a single contact to test it. With just a watt! But we moved our bedroom into my shack, so now my shack was relegated to the upstairs--and we are in a rental home now, so until we buy I will not be able to put out the radials this Butternut will require. Believe you me--I am eager to get that done.
