The matching box can now be mounted to the feed arm. Use the hole closest to the
end of the tube. The other hole will not be used. Use the 6-32 locking nut to secure it
to the tube. Use the nylon ties to route the coax along the tube back towards the
mounting plates. Wind 12 turns of coax with a six inch diameter or install equivilant

Now would be a good time to mount the antenna
on a temporary mast if you haven’t already.
Use the two U-bolts to secure the mast inside
the mounting bracket. The center of gravity is
on the edge of the bracket. This is the reason
for the mount to be off centered. The maximum
mast size is 1-1/2” outer diameter.
