Vertical Base Section
The base section is made up of an insulated mounting channel with hardware, a mounting plate, two
U-Bolt assemblies and the base antenna element section which is 2" OD and 36" long.
Using
Figure 4 , attach the aluminum backing plate to the back of the insulated channel. The base
hardware kit contains four 2" bolts, four flat washers, four aluminum spacers, four split washers and
four nuts. From the inside of the channel, insert a 2" bolt with a flat washer through each of the
middle four holes, through the backing plate. Put on the aluminum spacer, a split washer and a hex
nut. Tighten firmly, but not enough to crush the insulated channel.
Figure - 4
Using the 36" base element section, install the 1" bolt through the hole in the tube from the inside,
so the threads stick out. Put on a star washer, flat washer, then a hex nut. Tighten securely. Add
another star washer, flat washer and hex nut, but do not tighten. The feed wire attaches to this
hardware.
Figure 5 shows the completed feed assembly.
