BARRETT 2019 AUTOMATIC TUNING HF ANTENNA
Mounting the Whip Sections
To mount the whip sec-
tion it is recommended
that only one section
of the whip be screwed
onto the antenna at a
time. The whip section
should be hand tight-
ened fully then a suita
-
ble tool (e.g. a spanner)
can be used to tighten
the section a further
10 to 20 degrees clock-
wise while holding the
antenna body with a
free hand.
To mount the two whip
sections together, the
unattached whip sec-
tion should be hand
tightened fully then
a suitable tool (e.g. a
spanner) can be used
to tighten the section a
further 10 to 20 degrees
clockwise while holding
the already attached
whip section with a free
hand.
