Antenna, 6-Band, 80, 40, 30, 20, 15, 10 meters,
Up to 1.5 kW SSB or CW
24 ft. high
Weight 16.5lb
SO239
antenna connector UHF Female
Includes  mounting clamps kit for pipe 1-1.25 in.
Provides a nominal 50 Ohm impedance when tuned according to the instructions.
6-BTV was designed as self-supporting verticals to provide efficient operation in the 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, and 75 or 80 meter bands.
These antennas perform well in restricted space areas.
For peak performance, a field of radial wires should be used.
No plate, no radials, and no tip-over mount are included, and, if needed, should be purchased separately.
ASSEMBLY
1. Check the package contents against the parts list.
2. WARNING. Installation of this product near power lines is dangerous. For your safety, read the enclosed warnings and follow the installation directions.
3. Prepare split lead on coax in accordance with figures 2 and 3. RG-8/U coax is recommended. (See decoupling information, page 12).
4. Install lugs on coax as shown in figure 4 and weatherproof with electrical tape.
5. Install coax feedline and radials (if needed) as shown in figure 7. Coax length is not critical.
6. After making all connections it is recommended you spray the bracket assembly with a heavy protective coating such as Krylon clear spray coating.
7. Assemble all 1-1/4 in. stainless steel clamps using the 1/4 in.-20 x 3/4 in. screws and 1/4-20 square nuts.
8. Attach the 10-meter trap to the 72 in. tube using one of the clamp assemblies. Set dimension “A” as indicated in the table in figures 5 and 6.
9. Assemble one of the 20 in. tubes on top of the 10-meter trap using a clamp assembly. Place the 15-meter trap on top of the 20 in. tube and set dimension “B” (see table figures 5 and 6). Repeat this step with another 20 in. tube and install the 20-meter trap. Set dimension “C”.
10. Put the 24 in. tube above the 20-meter trap. Place the 30-meter trap on it, using clamp assemblies. Set dimension “D” (figures 5 and 6).
11. There is no trap for 40 meters. The 40-meter section consists of a 36 in. tube with a threaded stud on the upper end. Install the 40-meter tube on the top of the 30-meter trap. Set dimension “E” (figures 5 and 6).
12. Screw on the 75/80-meter resonator at the top of the 40-meter tube and adjust the tip rod in accordance with figure 8. NOTE: The Hustler RM-75S and RM-80S resonators are the same. Tip rod length is the only difference.
13. Place the antenna on the bracket assembly and set dimension “A”, using the last clamp assembly.

Q&A:
Q: What types of radials do you recommend?
A: The radials should be made from insulated wire of #14 gauge or larger. You will need to insulate the bare wire ends on the outer ends of the radials. At least 2 radials per band are required.
Radial lengths should be as follows:
10 meters 8' 4", 15 meters 11' 4", 20 meters 16' 4", 30 meters 23' 4", 40 meters 32' 4", 75/80 meters 64' 4".
