4. 6 METER ELEMENT ASSEMBLY & MOUNTING
The elements are made up of one pre-drilled and slotted 3/4" (1.9 cm) O.D. center tube
and two pre-cut 5/8" (1.59 cm) O.D. end tubes. Assemble the elements using Figure E.
Slide the tuning strap (69) on one of the 6MEA tubes. This will be the driven element
#2. Place telescope clamps (409) loosely on the slotted ends of all 6MEA tubes. Note
that the 6MEC tubes must be used with the 6MEA tube on which you placed the tuning
strap (69). Attach caps (27) to the end of each element. Mount the elements to the
boom (figure E). Refer to figure F for mounting the driven element with the connector
bracket. Mount the connector with the threads (socket) pointing to the mast mount.
Adjust the antenna to your preferred portion of the 6 meter band using Table B. Tighten
all connections.
