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.
