[Antennas] Bencher model hf6x vertical

Sun Mar 6 01:18:35 EST 2005

Hi All,

I recently purchased from an estate sale a Bencher Model Hf6x vertical which 
has the 12/17 mods along with the cpk counterpoise kit installed.

I plan to ground mount this antenna using radials instead of the cpk kit.

The coil part Q (base matching/grounding coil is missing
The cpk kit used 35 feet of rg-11 75 ohm coax as a matching line. The 
ground mounted vertical uses a "short" matching line but the parts list doesn't 
show its length. Do any of you know the length of this short version? I can 
easily make one out of the 35 ft length used with the cpk.

Finally do any of you know the base/matching, grounding coil dimensions i.e. 
coil diameter, number of turns, wire type/gauge etc for the missing coil?

Thanks in advance.
