Looking for some real world answers here. I know what DX Engineering says but I would like to hear from some hams that have used this antenna.
Just how close to a house can you ground mount a Hustler 4BTV antenna and still get good performance from it? I am only going to be using about 50 watts into this antenna and I will use about 60 radials. My problem is the only safe place due to power lines is about 6 feet out from one side of the house unless I put it in the middle of the front yard. Of course I do not see a problem with using the front yard but my wife does.
