Attaching the 30 meter assemblies to the DXE-8040VA-1 vertical antenna 

 
Before you start installation, measure the low SWR frequencies of your 

DXE-80/40VA-1 

vertical 

antenna on each band and record those measurements. This will assure your antenna is working 
properly before adding the 30 meter kit and aid in making minor adjustments afterwards, if needed. 
 
The orientation of the 30 meter kit on the 

DXE-8040VA-1

 is important. The positioning of the 30 

meter kit must be such that it does not interfere with the tilting of the antenna.  
 
1.  The lower 30 meter assembly is installed first while the 

DXE-8040VA-1

 antenna is in the 

upright position. The lower mounting bracket is attached to the base section using the stainless 
steel studded band clamps as shown in 

Figure 16

. With the clamps open, you can insert them 

around the bottom aluminum element. Position the clamps just above the feedpoint as shown 
and tighten in place.

2.  Connect the black wire to the radial plate as shown in

 Figure 17

. Adjust the black wire length 

through the insulator to allow lowering the antenna and not interfering.
