Depending on the target height of the antenna it is advised to use at least one pair of guy ropes
which will stabilize the whole structure. The antenna can be easily assembled with a stand or
a chair with an opening inside or even a big bucket .
WARNING!
Used in moderation its high power amplifier, do not exceed the allowable power and
uses it in moderation
Remember the antenna has been tested normal balun to 1500W PEP and continuous
1300-1400W
Abuse of too much power can cause permanent damage to the antenna
especially in the aggressive environment - high humidity and high salinity
WARNING!
if you live or you are using an antenna in a very aggressive environment of salt water
necessary to protect any electrical connection
I use and recommend :
Liquid Electrical Tape for connections that I can not wrap with the rubberized tape
3M super 33+ --- especially as you live close to the sea and the ocean where it is very
aggressive marine environment and high salinity!
WARNING!
if you live in a region where there is a strong sun, propose to additionally protect
the UV paint with poles
