Linear-Loading Wire Assembly
Select the 24 rod support insulators
("Tombstone"-shaped) (Item No. 47) and install
them on the DE1 and DE2 sections as shown in
Figure 6, using the #6-32 x 2" bolts, lockwashers
and nuts (Item Nos. 20, 22 & 21).
Select the four (4) 7/8" aluminum tubing clamps
(Item No. 42) and install these on the DE2 and
DE3 sections on either side of the 40-meter
insulator as shown in Figure 7, using the 1/4" - 20
x 1 1/4" (Item No. 3) and 1/4"-20 x 1 1/2" bolts,
nuts (Item Nos. 29, 32 &
34).
Identify the LLW sections from the drawing in
Figure 8 and assemble as shown in Figure 6,
using the #10-24 x 1/2" bolts, lockwashers and
nuts (Item Nos. 36, 40 & 38).
Start assembling the LLW sections to the
element beginning at the 40 meter insulator.
Position the tubing clamps (Item 42) as close
as possible to the 40 meter insulator as shown
below. Other clamp and wire positions will
depend upon the final assembly of the linear
loading wires.
