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.
