Some customers have had success tuning the antenna wires simply by allowing
excess wire to hang down from the insulators after looping around the bolts.  
Tuning adjustment is done by trimming the excess wire.  The excess wire will 
cause the antenna to be tuned to a frequency below the band.  Cutting the wire
on each side evenly a little bit at a time, will raise the frequency.  This might be
easier for some and doesn’t require the tuning strips which will cut down on the 
weight of the insulators.  Note that there are extreme high voltages present at the
tips of the wires and arcing may occur while transmitting if the wire is frayed.  S

Loop around the bolt and tighten

Tuning option 2

NO

If you use this method of tuning, do not 
allow the wire to fray.  Soldering the tip
of the wire is a good solution.  Extreme
high voltage is present at the tips of the 
wires.  Fraying will cause arcing that 
could melt the wire or insulators.

Moving the bolts to the inner holes and wrapping the wire
around them can be another tuning method.  This method
reduces the chance of the wire fraying which may cause 
arcing.
