Hustler 6BTV Antenna
24' Mast
4 Radials per band (2/80)
To make the radials I had to overcome my city lot and neighbors. I couldn't have 22 radials spread out to 22 different attachment points. My solution was to make fan dipoles. Each radial set (4) contains 10/15/20/30/40 and is kept seperated by pvc. 80m had to be installed seperately. Each radial set is terminated with an egg insulator and black dacron to the attachment point.
The 6BTV is very "whippy" itself, much less mounted on top of a 24' mast. The instructions say to guy it just about the 20m trap. I used fuel line clamps. These clamps are a piece of strap steel coated with plastic. I wrapped it around the antenna and used an eyebolt to secure it. The eyebolt then acted as a good attachment point. I used black dacron rope for the guys. The mast itself is a standard guy installation.
