DX Engineering recently announced the acquisition of Bencher’s antenna production that includes the Skyhawk and Skylark models, plus Butternut HF vertical antenna series.
Butternut antenna company was founded by Donald R. Newcomb, W0DN (SK) in the 1970’s when he started manufacturing a series of highly regarded antennas. W0DN held several patents in antenna design, that permitted him to bring in the market some popular HF multiband vertical antennas.
Bencher acquired the Butternut ant
