MOUNTING
The
is designed to accept a 2” O.D. mast. A
heavy duty mast designed for this purpose
is recommended. If mounted on a guyed tower, break up the guys every 3’ by using egg insulators in the
guy lines for the top 20’ of the guy cables. Also, the guys should be located at least 12’ below the level of
the boom. Although it may be desirable to mount the antenna on a mast so that the elements clear the top
of the tower, this should not be attempted unless you are certain that your installation is sturdy enough for
this type of installation. Experimentation has shown little, if any, effect on the operation of the antenna by
mounting it 2’ above the top of the tower, or by mounting a rotator so that it lies between the vertical elements.
The first consideration should always be the mechanical stability of the antenna.
BOOM TO MAST TILT FEATURE

hex nut are provided
to give a tilt feature to the boom, if desired.
A hole will have to be drilled through your mast to accommodate the
