Base Series and Shunt Coil Assembly and Installation

Two coils are used at the base of the antenna. One coil is in series with the antenna feed point; the
other coil is shunt coil and is connected to the Radial Plate. Attach the series coil with the straight
bracket on the antenna feedpoint using the hardware as shown.

Install the shunt coil with the “L” bracket to the radial plate on top of an existing radial wire bolt
using the hardware as shown below. The wire (with terminals) is connected from one end of the
series coil to the shunt coil (top connection). At this same connection point the wire with the PL-
259 on the other end, is connected to this same point.

Position the shunt coil on the Radial Plate to allow the wire to connect to the series coil and not
interfere when pivoting the antenna.
