Guying a Vertical Antenna System
Guying of the DXE-VE-2 is not required, however, if your area encounters severe wind velocities
or icing conditions, simple guying will reduce the possibility of failure. Using the
DXE-GUY kits,
you can install four guy ropes starting approximately 1/2 the way up the vertical antenna system to
ground level. Guying should be tightened just enough to permit the antenna to swing a few inches.
The ends of the ropes are tied to the earth anchors that are screwed into the ground at about the
same angle as the ropes will be. When using the Tilt Base, position the guy wires as shown below.
This will make it easy to raise or lower the antenna and only one guy line needs to be loosened. The
other guy lines will help guide the antenna on the way up. Depending on your antenna system,
additional guys at points higher on the antenna may be required.
