Securing the antenna
To secure the antenna:
1
Raise the antenna to the top of the masts, then adjust the halyards so that the antenna
is equidistant between the masts, allowing a sag of approximately 400 mm in the
centre.
Reasonable tension needs to be applied to the halyards to level the antenna between
the masts and account for flexing of the mast.
1
Tie off the halyards at completion.
NOTE
Tie off the halyards each time to minimise problems.
