Default Elivated vertical

I've got a Butternut vertical HF6V and have plans to place it up on the
roof. I've had it ground mounted (worked super) but due to family uses
for the yard will have to move it up and out of the way.

Rather than laying down 20 pieces of wire on my roof for radials
(insulated with the tips protected) I'd like to try and build a Butternut
"No radials required with the optional CPK Counterpoise kit" but I'm
having difficulty finding the specs.

Has anyone ever built one or have the measurements for a general purpose
counterpoise kit?


Just run the radials... it will take around 550ft of wire.... I have my 5BTV
on the roof with 20 radials... the 75 meter radials are guyed out to trees.
It works very much good. :-)
