Driven Element ( ) Select the large set of element-to-boom brackets and loosely assemble on the boom
Assembly 66" from the center of the reflector element-to-boom bracket as shown in Figure 3. Do not
forget the anchor screws as shown in Figure 4.
( ) Select the DE-1 section of tubing (11/4" x 36 1/2") and the Driven Element
insulators. Slip the insulator over the DE-1 section then slip the insulated end of DE-1
into the bracket assembled on the boom. Tighten the screws to hold the element
securely but do not tighten the anchor screws at this time. Refer to Figure 4.
( ) Check to see if the Driven Element will lie in the same plane as the Reflector and
make certain it is still 66" from the center of one bracket to the center of the other.
Now tighten the anchor screws securely.
( ) Assemble a 1 1/4" compression clamp and slip it over the DE-1 section. Select the
DE-2 section (1 1/8”
x 52"). Slip the unswaged end of the DE-2 section into the DE-1
section and measure the dimension shown on Figure 3 for your mode of
transmission. Tighten the compression clamp slightly. .
( ) Assemble a 1 "compression clamp and slip it over the swaged end of the DE-2
section. Select a 10-meter trap and slip the unswaged end into the DE-2 section.
Measure the dimension shown on Figure 3 for your mode of transmission. Make
certain the trap drain holes are facing downward. Tighten the compression clamp
( ) Assemble a 11 /16" compression clamp and slip it over the swaged end of the trap.
Select the DE-3 section (7/16" x 19") and slip it into the swaged end of the trap.
Measure the dimension shown on Figure 3 for your mode of transmission. Tighten the
compression clamp slightly.
( ) Carefully recheck all measurements as shown in Figure 3 and make certain the
trap
drain holes are facing downward. Tighten all compression clamps securely.
