Butternut HF9V Vertical Antennas work nine popular bands-80 through 6 meters-with an extremely efficient vertical radiator. The HF9V antennas are easy to erect and tune antennas that will last you for many years.

An internationally acclaimed antenna design, Butternut HF9V 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.

"easiest-to-tune", high-performance installation is the ground mounted HF9V, which requires a bare minimum of 12 evenly spread, straight radial wires. More radials are better, with double the number 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.
