(Item. No. 5).

Slip both radial assemblies over the top of the
48" tube and position as shown in Figure 4 and
Detail A. The slotted end of the 48" tube is the
top. Determine the "B" dimension from Table 1.
For example, at 221 MHz, B= 16 1/2" (419 mm).

Tighten all screws in both radial assemblies
securely and evenly.

Select the mast-to-mast clamps and associated
