Attaching the End Insulators with ropes to the NVIS Antenna Elements
Attach one end insulator with rope to each of the four antenna elements. Since you will change
lengths on the wires during tuning, do not cut any wires at this time. Insert each wire through the
end insulator and then wrap the wire back on itself as shown below.
The starting lengths of wire are shown on pages 16 and 17.
Attaching the Guy Ropes to the Tent Pegs
Tie the guy ropes from each insulator to the Tent Pegs allowing approximately 8 feet of rope.
Reference the overhead and side views to see the tent pegs in place. Do not shorten the rope until
you are satisfied that the tuning is complete.
