22. Slide the remaining clamp from the above assembly over
tube (E) and position it so the coil support tube L bracket
(O1) is even with fourth turn, counting from the top of the
40 meter coil on the coil assembly 80/40 meter (C) and
tighten the hex nut.
23. Hook the 30M coil support tube L-bracket (O1) around the
fourth turn of the 40 meter coil on coil assembly 80/40 meters (C). Secure with a # 8 x 3/4"
screw, lock washer and hex nut.
24. Attach the 17M strip (X) to the bolt that fastens the coil to the plastic insulator between the coil
and the upper clamp of the 17M coil assembly A-17-12 (W). Use the attached flat washer, lock
washer and hex nut.
25. Attach the 12M strip (Z) to the 12M coil
assembly A-17-12 (Y). Use the attached flat
washer, lock washer and hex nut.
26. Loosen the #10 hex nut on the bottom clamp
and the wing nut on the upper clamp of the
17M coil assembly A-17-12 (W) and slide the
assembly over the upper end of tube (E) with
the insulator end up.
27. Slide the unit down until the lower clamp of
the 17M coil assembly A-17-12 (W) rests on
the upper clamp of the coil/capacitor
assembly 30 meter (O).
28. Tighten the hex nut and stretch the coil so
that the distance between the upper edge of
the lower clamp and the lower edge of the
upper clamp is 10-1/2”.
29. Install the 12M coil assembly A-17-12 (Y) in
the same way, so the lower edge of the lower
clamp is about 2” above the upper clamp of
the 17M coil assembly A-17-12 (W). This
distance is not critical. Note: The 12M coil
MUST be compressed as much as possible
upon initial tuning. If not, it is highly
probably that 12M will actually be tuned into
10M throwing the ability to tune 10M at all.
30. Tighten the hex nut and stretch the coil so that the distance between the upper edge of the lower
clamp and the lower edge of the upper clamp is 8-3/4”.
