Suspension Eyebolt (B) on top of the
Matching Transformer.
18.
Drive a Tent Stake (T) into the ground
around two feet beyond the end of the
Antenna Wire.
19.
Using a Round Turn and two Half Hitches or
similar knot, tie the free end of the Short
Mini-Paracord to the Tent Stake, such that
the Antenna Wire is not quite taut.
20.
Connect the Terminal Lug at the end of the
Antenna Wire to the Antenna Connection
(D) on top of the Matching Transformer
Unit.
21.
Attach the Carabiner, at the end of the
Counterpoise Wire from step (7), to the

Transformer.
22.
Connect the Terminal Lug, at the end of the
Counterpoise
Wire
to
the
Bottom
Counterpoise Connection (E) on the bottom
