RE: HF2V
It's been a few years since I had an HF2V, but what I did was to guy it near
the top - and had the "guys" do double duty as a top hat. I used some strong
small gauge stranded wire that transitioned to nylon cord as I recall. Don't
recall the length of the wire sections, maybe 10' ? I believe that I came up
with the location and length from the Butternut literature for the antenna.
I never had a problem with the installation and it was up for several years.
It DID get struck by lightning but I only had to replace the door knobs, the
braided shorting strap on one coil and the gas-discharge element from the
"surge/lightning protector" I had in the feedline and it was back on the air.
