39. Install coax 75 ohm matching (R) as shown placing the lug from the center conductor over the
screw on tube (B) and the braid over the screw on tube with insulator (A). To aid in eliminating
water damage of the coax, run it so the terminals are facing downward so water will drip down,
not toward the coaxial cable.
40. Place # 8 washers over each screw and install coil (Q) base matching. Secure with washers, lock
washers and hex nuts.
NOTE: Attach radials and ground to tube with insulator (A) using the remaining # 8 hardware on
the ground side (lower side) of the coaxial cable connection.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE STATION EQUIPMENT IS CONNECTED TO A
GOOD EARTH GROUND! DO NOT HANDLE CABLE CONNECTED TO STATION
EQUIPMENT WITHOUT FIRST DISCONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT FROM THE
POWER MAINS. YOU COULD BE ELECTROCUTED!
41. Connect the 75 ohm matching (R) coaxial cable to any
length of 50 to 53 ohm coaxial cable that goes to your
transmitter. At the end of the 75 ohm matching cable there
is a double female UHF Connector provided.
