WARNING
Installation of this product near power
lines is dangerous ! For your safety,
follow the installation directions.
Do not install this antenna near any power
line. Not only is it dangerous to put up and
take down, the power lines could cause
excessive noise to be received by the radio
connected to this antenna.
When DX-88 and 160 MK-88 are installed or
the ground, a radial system is normally re-
quired. The minimum recommended radial
system for efficient 160 meter operation from
a city lot consists of 16 radials at 24 feet (7.3
m; long and 16 radials at 14 feet (4.3 m) long.
See Figure 1. These wire radials are not
supplies
