53. Install the Red Coil (Q) and the Feedpoint Connector (R1) in place as shown below. The Red
Coil and the Feedpoint Connector span over the insulator between Tube (A) and Tube (B). The
Red lead on the Feedpoint Connector connects to Tube (B), the Black lead on the Feedpoint
Connector connects to Tube (A). The 20 meter 75 ohm matching coaxial cable (R) connects to
the Feedpoint Connector (R1). The leads connecting the Feedpoint Connector can be bent to
accommodate your installation requirements. To aid in eliminating water damage of the coax,
weatherproof the coax connector when connected to the Feedpoint Connector.
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!
55. Connect the other end of the 75 ohm matching (R) coaxial cable to any
length of 50 to 53 ohm coaxial cable that goes to your transmitter. This
connection should also be weatherproofed
