Insulator
Final Assembly
Select the 1 1/4" tubing clamps (Item No. 41)
and appropriate hardware and assemble as
shown in Figure 6. Strip your coax cable, install
solder lugs (not supplied) and connect to the
dipole. Tape the cable to the boom for strain
relief.
An RF choke made from 12 turns of RG-123/u
coax in a 14" diameter circle is recommended
with the split coax feed. An alternative
method is to use a Hy-Gain BN-86 50 ohm
balun for easy connection to your coax cable.
"Pigtail" leads of #10 gauge stranded wire 7
inches long should be used from the balun to
the tubing clamps.
