AV-6160 43-Foot Self-Supporting Vertical Antenna
INTRODUCTION
The AV-6160 is a 43-foot self-supporting vertical antenna that covers 160-6 meters with the use of a
wide range antenna tuner. The AV-6160 has the lowest wind-loading and has the least visual
impact of any 43-foot vertical antenna on the market.
The AV-6160 is built-to-last – using incredibly strong 6063 T-6 aircraft strength aluminum tubing for
the radiator and all stainless steel hose clamps and hardware. And it assembles in about an hour.
WARNING: Improper installation and assembly can be hazardous! Read these instructions
thoroughly before attempting to assemble, install or operate this product! High power
transmitting devices produce voltages that can cause severe burns or other injuries.

CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR THE ANTENNA
For best performance, mount the antenna in a clear location away from buildings, towers,
feedlines, utility wires, and other antennas.
•
Never mount this antenna in a location that will permit unsuspecting people to come in
contact with any part of the antenna.
•
Never mount this antenna where a mechanical failure might allow the antenna to contact
power lines or other utility wires.
•
Always ground the feedline to a good earth ground at the point where it enters a building for
lightning protection.
WARNING: Contact with the antenna during operation can result in severe RF burns.
