Hi Brian,
the line is an electrical quarter-wave on 14 MHz,  assuming use of RG-8, 
RG-213, RG-58 and other solid
insulation coax that is 0.66 x physical length.     234/F gives you 
approximately  16.5 feet   x 0.66  = just under 11 feet.

For the actual feedline figure for the Butternut HF6V, HF9V etc check the 
Bencher  (they took over Butternut)
website where you can download the instruction manual in .PDF format and you 
will find the matching section length buried away at the end under 
Troubleshooting.

Hope this helps,
