Connections
Install hardware on the center-T support as shown in
Figure 3
. Where the feedline and wire
element connect, use the star washer between the lugs as shown in the inset. Star washers are not
used for the other connections.

Wire Elements
The multi-wire elements must be connected exactly as shown in
Figure 3
for the antenna to
work properly. Locate the ends of the wire elements marked with red tape. These ends connect to
the center-T support. With the DX Engineering Logo on the center-T support facing up, feed this
element wire down through one side of the notched slot of the center-T support. Next, route the
element wire back up through the inner slot and attach the red wire lug to the lower left terminal.
This terminal will also be used for the feedline connection.
The black and white wire lug is connected to the top terminal on the center-T support. Repeat the
same process for the opposite side wire element. Excess slack in the wire elements on the center-
T support should be removed prior to putting up the antenna.
Feedline
With the DX Engineering logo facing up, the feedline should be routed down through the lower
slot, then back up through the upper slot, leaving just enough slack to permit making connections
to the lower terminals on the center-T support.
