Basic Assembly
Note: The following assembly instructions are based on building a typical flat
top resonant dipole for 15 meters. Optional items include a COMTEK
balun, DX Engineering Antenna Wire, DX Engineering Coax Strain
Relief, DX Engineering Rope, DX Engineering Coaxial Cable, suggested
Never-Seez
®
for the stainless steel hardware and DX Engineering
weatherproofing materials for coaxial connectors.
Using the included Stainless Steel Hardware, mount the COMTEK balun (in this example we’ll use the
COMTEK 1:1 Balun - part number
COM-BAL-41130T
) as shown below. Note: When installing
stainless steel hardware, it is suggested that
JTL-12555
Jet Lube SS-30 be used to prevent thread
galling.
Mount the Balun on the side
opposite
the cupped areas of the dipole wire guides.
