Does anyone in the group have a Butternut HF-6V? I bought a used one,
and some of the insulators have cracked.

I have new insulator material, but a couple of the pieces are missing
and I can't quite tell the length.

If you had pix, or if it was near enough that I could travel to get pix
of the offending parts, I would be most grateful.

Mike, I've never had a butternut, but there are manual sellers all
over the place, and a lot of websites, many for getting the antenna on
160m.

I've been trying that. I have the manual, but it doesn't give the
dimensions I need. I suppose I could just cut some out sort of at
random, but I don't know if that might alter the performance if I get
the wires too far or too close to the main tube.
