ADJUSTMENTS/MODIFICATIONS TO THE HF6V/HF9V FOR USE WITH CPK

G

7. Connect the PL-259 at the end of the long lead to the SO-239 on the antenna.

G

8. Tape or otherwise secure the coil to the supporting mast in at two places and attach the PL-258

to the PL-259 at the other end of the cable.

A 50-ohm cable of any convenient length may be used past this point to connect the antenna to the
station equipment.

FINAL TUNING AND ADJUSTMENT

(REFER TO ANTENNA TUNING INSTRUCTIONS)

G

1. Feed a few watts into the antenna and note the SWR across the 80/75 meter band.  If SWR is

1.5 or less at some point within the range, adjust the 80 meter circuit of the antenna for lowest
SWR at the center of the usual operating range.

It is possible that even lower values of SWR can be attained by adding or removing a full or a half-turn
from the coiled up matching line, but rely upon the antenna tuning to control frequency, as modifying the
matching cable can affect matching on other bands.

G

2. Proceed, following the antenna tuning instructions for the other bands while noting the

preliminary modifications as noted above.
