Default Elivated vertical


"John" wrote in message ...
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?

Thanks.

Bencher has the instructions on their site:

The spreaders are 5.5' and the wire is 8'3" on a side.
