Ground your radial system by connecting the
base of the antenna to proper ground using
#10 or larger copper or aluminum wire. A
proper ground consists of an 8 foot copper
clad, steel ground rod driven into the ground
as close as possible to the antenna base.
If the antenna is ground mounted, install as
shown in Figure 4. Ground the base of the an-
tenna as described above.
6" Maximum length ground wire (Not
52 Ohm coaxial cable (Not Supplied)
NOTE: For improved performance, use more
ground rods. Any good electrical connection
can be used. (Not Supplied).
