BOOM IDENTIFICATION
Here are the 7 boom sections with measurements displayed for the pre-drilled holes. The numbers on top
are the distance in inches from the rear of the boom when it is correctly assembled. The numbers on bottom
are the distance in inches from one side of the individual tube. These numbers are to verify correct location
and orientation of each tube. Identify each tube by the color band on it. Once you have identified the tubes,
determine which end of the tube will insert into the middle boom section. Mark this side of the tube 3 inches
from the end. This mark will be used to set the insertion depth into the next size tubing. If the tubes are put
together incorrectly, the elements will be out of place and the antenna will not work properly. Use a sharpie
or other marking pen to draw a line on the tube.
