ASSEMBLY
coil/capacitor assembly 30 meter (P).
19. Place a #10 washer, lock washer and hex nut on both upper clamps of
coil/capacitor assembly 30 meter (P).
20. Pass the lower single clamp of coil/capacitor assembly 30 meter (P) over the
insulator end of coil support tube 30 meter (O) and slide the coil downward
along the tube until the upper edge of the upper clamp is flush with the end of
the insulator. Align the upper clamp with the coil support tube 30 meter L
bracket (O1) and tighten the hex nut.
21. Stretch the coil until the bottom of the bottom clamp on the coil/capacitor
assembly 30 meter (P) is even with the mark on coil support tube 30 meter (O)
and tighten the wing nut.
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 coil support tube 30 meter L bracket (O1) around the fourth turn of
the 40 meter coil on coil assembly 80/40 meter (C). Secure with a # 8 x 3/4"
screw, lock washer and hex nut.
24. Attach strip 17 meter (X) to the bolt that fastens the coil to the plastic
insulator between the coil and the upper clamp of the Coil Assembly 17 Meter
A-17-12 (W). Use the attached flat washer, lock washer and hex nut.
25. Attach the strip 12 meter (Z) to the coil assembly 12 meter A-17-12 (Y) in the
same way.
26. Loosen the #10 hex nut on the bottom clamp and the wing nut on the upper
clamp of coil assembly 17 meter 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 coil assembly 17 meter 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 in (26.7 cm).
29. Install the coil assembly 12 meter A-17-12 (Y) in the same way, so the lower
edge of the lower clamp is about 2 in (5.1 cm) above the upper clamp of the
coil assembly 17 meter A-17-12 (W). This distance is not critical.
