Installation - Horizontal Configuration
1.
Take the antenna in its box to its installation point, below the hoisting halyard.
2.
Carefully remove antenna from box and lay it on ground ensuring that the balun and resistor load are facing down.
Ensure wires do not tangle.
3.
Carefully remove tape and cable ties and extend each section one at a time until extended to full length (see below).
Ensure that tangles are avoided.
4.
Attach ends of antenna to hoisting halyards and hoist until antenna is at a workable height off the ground. Note that
the balun will hang below the antenna.
5. Connect the coaxial cable to the connector on the bottom of the balun (it may be necessary to invert the balun by
loosening the set screws on either side, allowing the coaxial connector to face downwards).
6.
Hoist antenna to full height and secure. Note: the antenna will curve downward slightly when suspended.
