The feed system consists of 3 sub-assemblies. They are the feed-straps,
the tuning-tube insulator and the matching network. Figure 7 illustrates the
3 pairs of feed-straps (FL1, FL2, FL3). Refer to the Feed System Subassembly
Parts List for the hardware required to install the straps. Slide a feed-strap
insulator (832) on to each pair of feed-straps to space and insulate the straps.
Elements may be rotated slightly during feed strap attachment. Tighten Cush-
A-Clamps on Elements #3, #4, #5 and #6.
Locate the 2 tuning-tubes (EZ). Attach the punched ends of each tube to
the screws at the center of Element #3.
Locate the Tuning Tube Shorting Strap (555). Loosen the 2 screws and
slide the strap onto the tuning tubes (EZ). Leave strap loose.
