[ ] 10.
Place one of the hose clamps around the aluminum tubing and snug the clamp using a
5/16” nut driver . The center conductor of the coax will be connected to the antenna using
a solder lug placed under the clamp. Refer to figure 2.
[ ] 11.
Install the short 6/32” screws in the rings of the loading coil assemblies and place a 6/32”
nut on each screw. Put the four medium capacitance spokes in the four holes on the rings
of the coil assembly. Then, tighten the screws until the spokes are snug. Now you should
be able to turn the coil assembly over and they should balance on the long spokes. See
Figure 3.

IMPORTANT:
Do not use a high torque electric screwdriver to mount the capacitance
spokes. The screw heads will be sheared off if too much torque is applied.
[ ] 12.
Install four short capacitance spokes in the next 3 sets of rings. Again, tighten these spokes
as was done in step 9. (See Figure 3)
[ ] 13.
Slide a hose clamp over the top radiator. Mount the top coil assembly to the antenna by
inserting the fiberglass insulator in the top radiator. Tighten the metal strap from the coil
assembly under the hose clamp. See Figure 4.
