Connecting the coaxial cable
To connect the coaxial cable:
1
Connect the coaxial cable to the balun.
1
Wrap the connector with self-amalgamating PIB (Rotunda 2501) or EPR (3M
Scotch™ 23) tape.
1
Cover the self-amalgamating tape with an overlay of high-quality electrical tape
(3M Scotch™ 33+, or similar) to minimise aging of the self-amalgamating tape.
1
Provide strain relief for the coaxial cable (see
Figure 5: Strain relief for the coaxial cable
NOTE
The coaxial cable may need to pass between the load and the antenna
wire nearest the mast.
