Over 50 Years Ago!
The Hustler
®
HF Base Four Band Trap Vertical antenna was a new concept in 1959. This unique multi-
band antenna with an exclusive low-loss trap design was developed and introduced to Amateurs by
Hustler, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio, offering quarter-wave antenna performance for 40, 20 15 and 10
meters , but requiring no band switching!
Later, the Hustler
®
Four Band Trap Vertical, known around the world as the 4-BTV, was made
available with an 80 meter resonator, and the 5-BTV was born. When the Amateur bands expanded in
1979, the last of the series offerings designed by Hustler
®
, the 6-BTV, added 30 meters, for an
unequalled vertical antenna. Since 1985 the New-Tronics Antenna Corporation in Mineral Wells,
Texas, has been making high quality antennas for HF, VHF and UHF Amateur and Commercial
customers, including the “Hustler
®
BTV Series”.
Since 2003, DX Engineering has offered Hustler
®
Antennas and has developed a complete system of
innovative accessories and Add-On Kits specifically for the Hustler
®
BTV series. Amateurs now have
the choice of complete Hustler
®
BTV Series High Performance packages for their HF needs, including
the ability to turn their Hustler
®
into a “9-BTV” covering all bands 80 through 10 meters.
DX Engineering joins New-Tronics Antenna Corporation in celebrating over 50 years of service with
the famous Hustler
®
HF Base Four Band Trap Vertical – The Hustler
®
4-BTV.
