4) Repeat for remaining bands. 

Repeat the tuning process for the 15 m, 17 m, and 20 m bands, in 

that order.  
 

For the manual tune center section model, the testing is the same as described above. The only 
difference is that the two jumpers for the specific band must be installed. For the mono-band 
center sections there is only one band to adjust. The number of coils will vary depending on 
the model.  

 

 
Guy Rope and Anchor Installation 

 
In cases where the antenna may be subject to winds or conditions that may cause the antenna to be 
blown down, guying is suggested. For temporary installations if the conditions are not harsh, you 
may find that putting rocks or weights (example: gallon jugs with water) on the Quadrastand legs 
will provide the security needed. If conditions are a bit harsher, you may want to use rope and 
screw-in earth anchors. Screw-in earth anchors and sufficient antenna rope are available from DX 
Engineering to allow guying of the antenna.
