[Antennas] V or vertical?

Sun, 21 Apr 2002 19:53:12 -0500

I use a Butternut HF-9V (a replacement for a HF-6V which was bent in a
very high wind) mounted on a 10-foot pole, using 3 radials (2 Butternut
40-10 type, one 80M 67' long).  I believe that length is more important
than direction; so if you can use them as guys, bending the excess length
around your lot, this should work.
