Note:
Although not normally required for installations 35 feet above ground, for lower antenna
installations, minor adjustments, by trimming of a particular wire driven element and/or reflector
element wires may be needed to minimize the SWR. Additional information on tuning is found in
the section: "SWR Testing" at the end of these assembly instructions. Additional Ring Terminals
are supplied for this purpose.
