Safety first!
* Do not install over or around AC power lines or feeders, you could be killed or injured!
* Do not touch or allow others to touch the antenna while transmitting over 1 KV can be present!
* RF Exposure, follow the FCC OET Bulletin 65 and Amateur Radio Supplement B to OET
Bulletin 65 guidelines. Best practice as usual, use the least amount of power needed.
Tips & Advice
--This is a Single Band Antenna, DO NOT try to force it onto other bands!
--Do NOT USE conductive guy lines to support it, and never tie directly to trees without using a pulley system!
--Deploy away from other antennas or metal if possible.
Putting it together:
1. In the shipping box you will find the matching unit for 60M with a ~95 ft radiator(un-tuned) permanently attached.
Under the U.S. FCC regulations for 60M you can only transmit up to 50 W PEP output relative to a half-wave dipole on
channelized frequencies. As the QZ-60 is a half-wave dipole there is no need to figure out the gain of the antenna, as long
as you don't input more than 50 W PEP you will remain legal.
2. Drip Dam(optional) Helps prevent water/rain from running down the antenna wire to the operating position. Squeeze and
slide the non-conductive Drip Dam over the open wire end before final insulator install.
3.
Installing insulator
--thread wire thru per diagram below and it will self lock in place.
