lug. When finished, it should look like in the picture below:
The four top ends of the wires connected to the apex of the antenna, and the hose clamp
used to relieve the tension from the connection lugs.
It is recommended that the connections here are protected. It is highly suggested that Noalox® or
a similar product should be applied between the lug and the aluminum tubing to protect the
connection from galvanic corrosion between the stainless steel and the aluminum. Also cover the
connections with rubber tape or any other material to protect them from the weather.
Connections at the bottom
Depending on the antenna model and the number of persons involved on the installation, you
may decide to connect the bottom ends of the wire sections before or after assembling and
erecting the mast. Proceeding like with the antenna top connections, do the same at the bottom,
just above the insulated coupling on top of the 4 feet base mast section. Wires should be, again,
oriented downwards while tightening the hex nuts. Refer to the picture to see how it should look
when finished. It is highly recommended to protect these connections from the weather elements.
