RadioBanter - Butternut HF6-X Vertical

Hi Guys,

I have a Butternut HF6-X antenna missing two parts.

It would be of great assistance to me if somebody who has one could tell me
about these parts.

part # R V00223 75 ohm coax matching Line, what length and type number of
cable
was used here.

And the secondly the Coil part # Q V00137 Coil Q Base Matching,
Diameter, Length, Number of turns, and aprox Wire diameter.

Many thanks,

I have one of these, but the cable is still buried, the documentation is
floating around who knows where in the shack, and the antenna is
disassembled and stored above the garage.

The cable length is 11' 4" for solid dielectric RG11 13' 6" for foam
dielectric RG11 ,
according to an online discussion at:

At any rate, measuring the bottom most coil:

28 turns
3 5/8 inch outer diameter
11 inches long, but my coil is somewhat bunched up rather than equally
distributed.
Coil turns about 0.205 inches in diameter

The coil is centered on tubing that goes through the coil with about 1 inch
of dielectric at the top preventing a short.
The bottom of the coil goes to a pair of capacitors.

Hope this helps.
