6M6LN STACKING INFORMATION
INSTALLATION AND STACKING INFORMATION
A
. A mast or cross boom that is mounted to the boom
in the element plane
must be non
-
con-
ductive (fiberglass, etc.).
B
. To protect your investment in this high performance antenna, always use high quality coax
and connectors. Old, corroded, or poor quality materials are common sources of
serious
perfor-
mance losses.
C
. If possible, test the antenna, connectors and feedline BEFORE installing to your mast or tow-
er. Set antenna on a tall (non
-
metallic) ladder or temporary mast. Check for continuity and match
across the bandwidth. It should be similar to rated specifications.
D.
STACKING REMINDERS:
1. All driven element blocks MUST be oriented to the same side of boom. On models with
ferrite baluns, the red leads must connect to the same side of each driven element.
2. All boom
-
to
-
mast plates MUST be mounted at the same side and location on the boom.
3. Feed / phasing lines MUST be of equal electrical length or multiples of 1 wavelength in
order to maintain equal phasing in the array. Improper phasing can severely deteriorate
performance.
