Assembly
Before you begin assembly, find a place suitable for antenna
construction. This area should be free of power lines and
obstructions so that you may move the antenna freely. It is
best that the area be a flat level surface to allow you to lay the
antenna on its side using saw horses or some other type of
support. A driveway makes a very good location to assemble
the antenna. If you attempt to assemble the antenna over grass,
you will drop something and it will be gone forever.

Main Radiator
These are the parts you will need for the main radiator assembly.
1. Two 1-3/8 x 60 inch ( 5f t ) Aluminum tubes
2. One 1-1/2 x 12 inch double walled Aluminum tube.
3. Two 1-1/4 x 12 Fiberglass Rods.
4. Two 1/4-20 x 1-3/4 Bolts
5. Four 1/4 split washers
6. Four 1/4-20 Nuts
7. One Shunt coil
36 Two 1/4-20 x 2” Bolts
Assemble the main radiator as shown in the diagram. The main
tubes (Item #1) are the same on each end so it doesn’t matter
which end you attach to the center insulator. Slide the insulator
into the tubes and alighn the holes. Insert the bolts through the
holes and slide the split washer on.
On the center section, slide the shunt coil (#7) on before the split
washers. Thread the nut on and tighten it using a 7/16 wrench or
socket. You may need an additional wrench to hold the bolt on
the other side.

2”
Stretch or compress the coil so that
the legs are perpendicular to the tubes.
It may have become distorted in the
shipping process.
