Butternut HF Vertical Antennas and Packages

Butternut HF6V 6-Band Vertical Antennas

Butternut HF6V Vertical Antennas work six bands--80, 40, 30, 20, 15, and 10 meters--with an extremely efficient vertical radiator that's only 26 ft. tall! The HF6V antennas are easy to erect and tune antennas that will last you for many years. The antenna comes with a 1 1/8 in. base insulator and a 1 1/4 in. O.D. x 2 ft. mounting tube for direct placement into the earth or mounting into a standard steel TV mast. An internationally acclaimed antenna design, Butternut HF6V antennas require a complete ground radial system. The antenna comes with a 1 1/8 in. base insulator and a 1 1/4 in. O.D. x 2 ft. mounting tube for direct placement into the earth. Accessory kits for 17, 12 and 6 meters are available. The preferred, "easiest-to-tune", high-performance installation is the ground mounted HF6V, which requires a bare minimum of 12 evenly spread, straight radial wires. Many more radials are better, with double the number (24) of evenly spread radials achieving nearly double the efficiency and signal performance, an effect that tops out at about 60 ground radials. Each radial wire stapled onto the ground or run an inch or so below the soil surface, may be any length from 20 to 45 ft. Radial wires need to be up to 50 percent longer over sandy and rocky soil to maintain efficiency. Want to hear and work the stations that other operators seem to be working easily? Enjoy advanced operations on the HF bands with a high performance vertical antenna installation. Have more fun DXing with great signals on your Butternut HF6V Vertical Antenna.
