BUTTERNUT HF9V VERTICAL 9-BAND HF HAM RADIO ANTENNA Picture(s) and Description:

BUTTERNUT

Up for bid is a "slightly" used Butternut HF-9V 9 band HF ham radio antenna. I had this up for a year and had to take it back down when I relocated to an apartment. Retailing for $500, it's a great working antenna especially for DX (assuming, of course, you put down a good ground or use Bencher's counterpoise kit). I laid out a radial ground system with scrap wire I had laying around. Since I was forced to mount it near a carport, my radials were spread in an "L" pattern, rather than a nice circle, but it still performed great. Bencher has very good mounting and assembly info on their web site. I highly encourage anyone interested to read it before installing a vertical. For more info, see www.bencher.com/ham Here are some factory specs: Work nine popular bands; 80 thru 6 meters with an extremely efficient vertical radiator only 26 feet tall! The HF9V is an easy to erect and tune antenna that will last you for many years. No lossy traps are used in this internationally acclaimed antenna design. No radials required with the optional CPK Counterpoise kit. Accessory kit for 160 meter coverage available. Covers 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, 10 and 6 meter bands. Handles up to 2KW PEP power.
